Trio con Brio Copenhagen returns to Orchid Classics with a triptych of Russian piano trios two works by Shostakovich framing music by Arensky. These Russian composers lived through turning points in their country's history. Arensky died in 1906, the year in which Shostakovich was born, and their output charts the trajectory of Russian and Soviet political and artistic history during those years. Arensky's ardent Piano Trio No.1 was written in 1894, when Russian Romanticism was at it's peak. Inspired by young love, the 17-year-old Shostakovich wrote his Piano Trio No.1 Poème in 1923 in Petrograd (St. Petersburg), finding expression for strong personal emotions via a musical language influenced by film scores. Just over 20 years later, in 1944, Shostakovich wrote his Piano Trio No. 2. By making use of Jewish music for the first time, he gave the greatest tragedies of the age a voice, while at the same time creating a music that displays an irrepressible spark of life.

Trio con Brio presents it's third volume of Beethoven's Piano Trios electrifying performances of music which reveals the composer at the peak of his powers. Beethoven's Op.1 Piano Trios began with two works sure to charm Viennese audiences, but in his Piano Trio Op.1, No.3 in C minor, featured on this album, we begin to hear the radical, uncompromising Beethoven in music of volcanic force, contrasted with a sublime slow movement. The 'Archduke' Trio, Op.97, marked Beethoven's final public performance as a pianist, but was also a turning-point in his output, it's warm-hued nature combining heavenly serenity with earthy joie de vivre.
