Greenwich Trio Brahms Piano Trios Vol.1, Linn Records
LANA TROTOVŠEK violin HEATHER TUACH cello YOKO MISUMI piano
Greenwich Trio and Linn Records launch a new collaboration with the first volume in a forthcoming series of the complete Brahms piano trios.
Pairing Op. 36 with Op. 87, this is the first instalment in a complete trios cycle. Although a string sextet in its original Brahmsian guise, Op. 36 was brilliantly arranged for piano trio by Theodor Kirchner, a contemporary and friend of Johannes. The second of Brahms’s three trios, Op. 87 is a mature work which sees the composer at the height of his compositional writing. Its highly Romantic leaning combined with its Classical structure calls for the sort of sharp skills the Greenwich Trio has in abundance.
