Eleven Past Eleven: Piano Trio
Bedřich Smetana (1824–1884): Piano Trio g minor op. 15
Franz Schubert (1797–1828): Piano Trio Es Major op. 100 (D 929)
“Character, precision, style and great enthusiasm” are attributed to the Busch Trio. Their shared passion for chamber music and the inspiration of Mathieu van Bellen’s “ex-Adolf Busch” Guadagnini violin brought them together and they have reaped recognition for the “indescribable power of their expression”. Which is exactly what the very personal trios of Schubert and Smetana demand.

Franz Schubert (1797–1828): Quintett A-Dur für Klavier, Violine, Viola, Violoncello und Kontrabass, op. posth 114, D 667, Forellenquintett, 1., 2. und 3. Satz
Wolfgang Rihm (*1952): Fremde Szene III
Franz Schubert: Forellenquintett, 4. Satz
Georg Friedrich Haas (*1953): ins Licht für Violine, Violoncello und Klavier
Franz Schubert: Forellenquintett, 5. Satz
Franz Schubert’s well-loved “Forellenquintett” is sometimes unjustly brushed off as clever musical entertainment, written on a summer holiday where the Steyr River flows into the Enns. But this A Major quintet is packed with centrifugal forces and internal tension, which will be stressed by the Trio Gaspard and the pianist Nicolas Rimmer, a popular guest in Hitzacker, when they implant musically much younger “foreign bodies” into the work.

The fascination of Early Music! The recorder virtuoso Maurice Steger embarks on a Baroque “giro d’italia”, presenting Italian works of the 17th and 18th centuries. Things get especially delightful when he’s joined by specialist Björn Colell with his bass lute, a theorbo with its extended neck and second pegbox, and his finely tuned Baroque guitar.
