David Leisner - Le Romantique - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

David Shifrin - Chamber Music Northwest Shifrin & Friends [COMPACT DISCS] date 07/31/2012

The combination of flute, viola and harp instruments is one of the most unusual and delightful chamber music combinations, as the Trio Partout brilliantly proves with their album InchPlay of ColorsInch. Probably the first work in music history for this line-up was by Claude Debussy, who composed his InchSonate pour flûte, alto et harpeInch in 1915 under the impact of the beginning of the First World War. Only a year later, the British composer Arnold Bax published his InchElegiac TrioInch, which acts as a kind of dream sequence through the ostinato harp arpeggios and lyrical elements of viola and flute. Harald Genzmer is considered one of the key composers of German music after the Second World War, and in 1947 wrote the Trio for flute, viola and harp, whose impressionistic sound images seemingly refer to Debussy. The Austrian composer Johannes Maria Staud uses a variety of modern playing techniques in his work InchSydenham MusicInch from 2011.
