This is the \"Ballad Of Mack The Knife\" from Kurt Weill\'s \"The Threepenny Opera\", in an amazing arrangement for piano trio (piano, Bb clarinet & violoncello), made by the professional composer, arranger and accompanist Dimitris Anousis. This is the real deal! Written in a understandable way to give an orchestral feeling while playing, not for the piece to sounds \"poor\". Ideal for all kinds of events. Appropriate also for students. This arrangement has been made years ago (around 2005) by Dimitris Anousis - the founder, arranger and pianist of the historique piano trio, \"Trio Tritono\". The ensemble had left a strong impression and legacy from its years of activity (around 2005 - 2007, in Greece) and was one of the most succesful crossover ensembles in Greece, performing new original arrangements by Dimitris Anousis on music from different genres and eras, from Brahms and Piazzolla, Gershwin and Bernstein, to Gillespie, Kurt Weil and Freddie Mercury.

This short trio combines angular lines and troubling chromaticism to create a highly effective piece of mood music with an empty, eerie feel to it. A beautiful and poignant work in memory of the cellist Christopher van Kampen, Turnage wrote this piece to mark the life of a great friend.
