Abegg Trio Series Vol. VIII

Mozart
Piano Trios

KV 254, KV 442,1, KV 496, KV 502
Abegg Trio

EAN/barcode: 4009850008002

Here the young Abegg Trio, already respected thanks to excellent recordings, presents its masterpiece: the three musicians manage to create a musical balance which respects Mozart’s intention; and this on a modern grand piano. The pianist Gerrit Zitterbart proves his mettle as a high-grade Mozart pianist [...]. And in this musical delicacy with dynamically bright variety and clear, unadorned recording, which sounds utterly natural, this new production overshadows the older one by the Beaux-Arts Trio [...]. A benchmark production." (stereoplay)

Répertoire (02/01/2000):

"Enfin disponible en France - Les aléas de la distribution nous avaient privés d′un des meilleurs trio avec piano d′outre-Rhin. L′importeur parisien Talis répare aujourd′hui cette injustice en diffusant les rééditions Tacet des enregistrements de ce superbe ensemble..."

Stereoplay (01/01/2000):

"Mozarts Klaviertrios nehmen in den Aufführungsstatistiken nur einen hinteren Rang ein: weit hinter den Quartetten, Violinsonaten, dem Streichtrio. Der Grund liegt möglicherweise in der systembedingten Unausgewogenheit zwischen dominierendem Tasteninstrument und den beiden Streichinstrumtenten, von denen das Cello erst langsam die "Eierschalen des Continuo" abstreift. more...

Fanfare (11/01/1999):

"Recorded in 1985, this beautiful played collection of the complete Mozart piano trios includes the movements completed by the Abbe Stadler and Karl Maguerre, and known as K 442. It is reissued conveniently on two compact discs as opposed to the three discs of the Beaux Arts Trio on Philips. more...

Classics Today (01/01/1999):

"Mozart′s Piano Trios require a lot more depth of interpretation than they often get. It′s easy to play a nice, light Mozart line, but not everyone really gets into the heart of the music. more...
