Here?s an opportunity to hear two cornerstones of the chamber
repertoire performed by one of today?s leading ensembles, the
Gutman Trio. The music in question: Brahms? First and Third Piano
Trios, works which, separated by 33 years, effectively date from
the extremes of the composer?s career. A chronological gap such as
this automatically invites judgement on stylistic development, and
indeed No.1 in B major is a youthful work, one which succeeds in
capturing the brave, witty and passionate nature of its fictional
dedicatee, E.T.A Hoffmann?s Kapellmeister Kreisler. Its evident
sophistication, however, is the fruit of a more mature composer,
for Brahms ? dissatisfied with the trio he had composed as a
20-year-old ? decided to rework the music some 40 years later,
seven years after writing his final effort in the form. As a
result, this release offers a fascinating juxtaposition of Brahms
the young composer and Brahms the master, one that isn?t just
limited to a comparison of the two works contained on the
CD.Founded in 2000 by Natalia Gutman, a former pupil of Mstislav
Rostropovich and who often performed with the piano titan
Sviatoslav Richter, the Gutman Trio made its highly successful
debut in the international Oleg Kagan Music Festival in Kreuth,
Bavaria, and has been thrilling audiences across the world ever
since. The group has appeared at such prestigious venues at
Geneva?s Victoria Hall and the concert halls of the Moscow
Conservatory and St Petersburg Philharmonic. This release marks
their first recording for Brilliant Classics.Other information:-
Recorded 2012, Muzichi Studio, Kiev, Ukraine. The first of a series
of recordings with the Gutman Trio!- This recording presents the CD
debut on Brilliant Classics of the Gutman Trio, named after Natalia
Gutman, world famous cellist, one of the few surviving of the
generation of 20th century soviet musicians, like Richter, Gilels,
Kogan, Kagan, Rostropovich and Oistrakh.- For their debut CD they
chose two of the cornerstones of the romantic piano trio
repertoire, the first and third piano trio by Brahms. The first
trio Op. 8 is a gorgeous work from Brahms? early years, brimming
with youthful passion and vitality; the third trio is in C minor
mood, dark, grim and powerful.- Notes on the music and artist
biographies in both English and German.
