Eric Nathan - Double Concertos - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

From the moment the first notes of the trio by Claude Debussy reached my ears, I knew that this evening would be an unforgettable experience. (I. León in La Jornada, Mexico) When the Gelius Trio members first played together in 1999 while recording an album with compositions by Dorothee Eberhardt, it was such a positive encounter that they founded their own ensemble. The two string players' experience as concertmasters of the Munich Phliharmonic Orchestra, playing under the direction of the most famous conductors in our epoch, is exceedingly enriching the cooperation. The eponym Micaela Gelius knows how to let the piano sing, empathetically accompanying, but also showing her pianistic finesses. The trio is known for the unity of the musicians' phrasings and for tonal beauty, passion and depth of feeling. It's extensive repertory includes trios from the classic to the contemporary period documented on six albums. On this , the trio presents works by Anton Arensky, Arno Babadjanyan, and Dimitri Shostakovich.

No wonder the stellar team of pianists Eric Zuber and Boris Slutsky found Rachmaninoff's works for two pianos irresistible. The two had a shared history Mr. Slutsky was Mr. Zuber's piano teacher beginning when the latter was a mere 11. Here, instructor and student have now become equal partners with a shared aesthetic. InchLike many pianists (and listeners), I've always felt deeply connected to Rachmaninoff's music,Inch says Eric Zuber. InchPrecisely identifying what makes it resonate so profoundly with so many people is challenging, but for me, it's his sincerity of expression, emotional honesty, and exceptional craftsmanship in writing for the piano. Through his distinctive musical language, Rachmaninoff captures the complexities of human emotion-our joys, loves, and sorrows-in ways words alone cannot fully express.
