Par SIBELIUS JEAN. Five multi-movement trios for piano and two string instruments by Sibelius are known from the years 1883?1888. The ?large? trios, such as the Havträsk and Korpo Trio (JS 207, JS 209), were written for the classical piano trio scoring of violin, violoncello and piano. Apparently, Sibelius kept composing trios to play among his family and friends, having in mind to be one of the musicians himself. Chamber music was an essential part of social life. When listening to Sibelius? trios, one cannot help but notice that the repertoire included many works of Viennese Classicism. Although Sibelius's feelings towards his youthful works were not exactly uncomplicated, Sibelius biographer Otto Andersson later reported ?that the master, in later years, missed [the Korpo Trio] very much and would have been very pleased to see [it] preserved.? / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / Violon, Violoncelle et Piano

In addition to Bärenreiter's scholarly-critical editions of Brahms' trios, an arrangement of Brahms' String Sextet op. 18 for piano trio by his contemporary and friend Theodor Kirchner is now being published. Simrock, Brahms' publisher, issued it in 1883. Brahms responded to the arrangement of his sextet with total enthusiasm and praise for the skills of his friend Kirchner (1823-1903).Christopher Hogwood's scholarly-critical edition includes an introduction which sheds light not just on the history of the arrangement and its validity in its own right, but also on Kirchner and his relationship to Brahms.- A much welcomed edition to the piano trio literature- Includes an informative introduction (Eng/Ger) and a Critical Commentary (Eng) / Violon, Violoncelle Et Piano

Par CASABLANCAS BENET. Albumblatt für Arriaga, commissioned by the Trio Arriaga and lasting some 7:30 minutes, is the composer's fourth contribution to the classical violin, cello and piano ensemble, for which he has a special esteem. The work was written in homage to the composer Juan Crisóstomo Arriaga, and at the same time as a token of gratitude and admiration for the Trio Arriaga, to whose members the work is dedicated; a double motivation that is reflected in the title of the work. Its course is presided over by a markedly lyrical character that coexists with passages full of energy, rhythmic vivacity and drama. The introduction and epilogue of the work are based on a musical motif derived from the name of the Basque composer (Ju-A-n C-r-I-S-ostomo A-rr-I-A-G-A), made up of the notes A, C, E, Eb, A, E, E, A, G, A, in the manner of a musical acrostic, and from whose nature the harmonic and thematic material of the whole work is largely derived. The premiere of this Trio took place on 5 November 2015 in the Chamber Hall of the Palau de la Música Catalana in Barcelona. / Date parution : 2022-02-03/ Répertoire / Violon, Violoncelle et Piano

Par PESSON GERARD. Ce trio est constitué de plusieurs moments musicaux inspirés des carnets d'esquisses de Marcel Proust. Proust est, entre Anne-Lise Gastaldi (pianiste et fondatrice du trio George Sand) et moi, comme un lien réflexe. Cette partition, qui lui est dédiée, est un hommage à la musique de Vinteuil (le compositeur en partie fictif de La Recherche du temps perdu), mais aussi une méditation sur les arcanes de l'invention proustienne. La phrase utilisée comme titre de ce trio est une sorte de mémento griffonné par Proust sur le folio 45 (verso) du Carnet 4 (1914-17) - phrase qui est liée au détail d'un tableau de Bruegel ainsi qu'au rougeoyant Septuor, la dernière oeuvre de Vinteuil.
