About this product
It was in 1842, his 'year of chamber music' that Robert Schumann took on the combination of violin, cello and piano for the first time. He seems to have decided against releasing the resulting Fantasiestücke as a fully-fledged piano trio, however, but later returned to the work, revising it for publication in 1850. The model here is not the large-scale, quasi-symphonic trios of Beethoven or Schubert - instead Haydn's characteristic trio textures spring to mind, especially in the first two movements where the cello largely follows the piano's left-hand bass line. By the time the Fantasiestücke was published, Schumann had already written two 'proper' piano trios, No. 1 in D minor and No. 2 in F major. According to the composer the second of these 'makes a friendlier and more immediate impression' but it is in fact the D minor trio that has long been the more popular passionate, mainly extrovert and bursting with fine thematic material it is the easiest to grasp on one hearing. Both works are filled to capacity with imitative writing, sometimes conspicuously so but often subtly as if on a subconscious level - an aspect that the members of the Kungsbacka Piano Trio, with more than 20 years of playing together, are able to make the most of.

After it's first album devoted to Schumann's first two piano trios, the Kungsbacka Piano Trio now presents the conclusion of this series with the Piano Trio No. 3 in G minor, to which they add the Six Studies in Canonic Form, originally for pedal piano and performed here in an arrangement for piano trio, and an early work, the Quartet in C minor for violin, viola, cello and piano, which was only published in 1979. Composed in 1851, the third Piano Trio achieves the tonal balance Schumann was aiming for with an utmost independence of the three instruments while having 'obsessive impulses' running through it, to quote pianist Simon Crawford-Phillips. The Six Studies in Canonic Form that follow appear as small contrapuntal jewels that testify to Robert Schumann's keen interest in Johann Sebastian Bach's Preludes and Fugues. Finally, the Quartet composed when Schumann was 18 reveals a wildly creative mind at work, inspired in turn by Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Chopin. Yet, despite these influences, one perceives a distinctive voice that reveals the obsessive qualities that would characterise Schumann's later works. InchA thrilling ride for performer and listenerInch, promises Crawford-Phillips.

Rudolf Firkušný was a great advocate for Dvorak's Piano Concerto during his lifetime. He made several recordings of the work and this classic Vox recording from 1975 is still considered one of the best versions available. Ruggiero Ricci's account of the Violin Concerto from 1974 is also an acclaimed classic.
