About
Following a successful release of piano trios by Mendelssohn, Audite now presents its second recording of the Swiss Piano Trio, featuring Robert Schumann’s piano trios in SACD format.
Composed in 1847, these two works represent significant contributions to the history of the genre as unjustly neglected masterpieces of 19th -century chamber music. Future releases will include Schumann’s Piano Trio Op. 110 alongside the Fantasiestücke Op. 88 and the Piano Trio Op. 17 by Clara Schumann.
The Swiss Piano Trio has won prizes at several competitions, including the International Chamber Music Competition Caltanissetta and the Austrian Johannes Brahms. Since its foundation in 1998, the ensemble has enjoyed a busy performing schedule with concerts in over 35 countries. The Trio performs chamber music in the most prestigious concert halls across the globe; and as an ensemble of soloists, the three musicians regularly appear with renowned orchestras. Numerous recordings for radio, television broadcasts and on disc document the artistic activities of the ensemble.

July/August 2012
High among the qualities of these excellent performances is the ability to make the most of the brilliance of the writing without losing a grip on the lyrical, and indeed the highly personal, inward nature of the music...It is fascinating music, played here with great perception, and with the suitably outward virtuosity indeed concealing much inward thoughtfulness.
