About
“To play Schubert together, as brothers, is more than simply a matter of making music,” according to violinist David Moreau, cellist Edgar Moreau and pianist Jérémie Moreau, who have chosen Schubert’s two piano trios for their first recording as a three-man ensemble. “It becomes an intimate conversation, a dialogue in hushed voices that crosses time and memory … It is as if Schubert’s voice were joining with ours to tell a story – a story of life with all its joys and in all its fragility.” Written a year or so before the composer’s premature death in 1828, the two works are characteristically ambivalent in their mood and expression – simultaneously life-affirming and acutely sensitive to the transience of human existence.
The new 2CD set is rounded out with arrangements for piano trio (made by the Moreau brothers or by Dimitri Soudoplatoff) of some of Schubert’s best-loved songs: ‘Der Hirt auf dem Felsen’ (The Shepherd on the Rock), originally conceived for soprano, piano and clarinet; ‘Du bist die Ruh’, ‘Auf dem Wasser zu singen’ and ‘Ständchen’. “Schubert has been with us forever,” write the Moreau brothers, “We feel we are returning to an essential source.”

It's undeniable that they play almost as a single entity, the dovetailing of their voices coming over as if it were the most natural thing in the world. They are caught close- to in their island studio in the Seine, south- west of Paris, and if the balance possibly slightly favours the cello, well, he IS Edgar Moreau.
