Various Artists - Contemporary American Piano Trios / Various [COMPACT DISCS] date 10/24/2006

As a piano trio, we find it particularly interesting to discover music that is seldom recorded or performed. We enjoy the artistic challenge of interpreting such works using our own individual approach and it enables us to offer interesting and diverse programming. The idea of uncovering and recording lesser known pieces for our first album led us to include a wonderful early work by George Enescu, his Trio No. 1, along with the youthful Benjamin Britten's Introduction and Allegro. Finding our own voice with these scores, free from preconceived musical ideas or influences, is a process that inspires us. It is an exploration that we regard as an invaluable experience. Both Enescu and Britten found inspiration through Ravel's music and this in turn led us to his Piano Trio in A minor, hailed as one of the great masterworks of the 20th century... (Amatis Trio)

The tr!jo sonatas present a fresh and unique perspective on music from the 18th century. Inspired by the French baroque Inchmis en concertInch technique, pieces originally scored for solo harpsichord are orchestrated for a larger chamber music setting. According to Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach this approach can also be applied to some of his father's compositions InchBach's clavier fugues can be set out for as many instruments as they have voices; no voice fails to receive it's proper share, and everyone is carried through properly.Inch As tr!jo, Tabea Debus, Lea Rahel Bader and Johannes Lang discover and arrange new repertoire to fit their flexible instrumentation (recorder, viola da gamba, and harpsichord and chamber organ), experimenting with a variety of musical styles. Founded in 2012, tr!jo won the audience award and second prize at the 2nd Berlin Bach Competition in 2015. Album Tracks 1. Orgelsonate in D-Dur 2. Orgelsonate in D-Moll 3.
