Black Oak Ensemble, a string trio boasting three of Chicago's most enterprising and dynamic chamber musicians, makes it's recording debut with Silenced Voices, an album of intriguing works by six promising, early 20th century Jewish composers originally from Austria-Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and the Netherlands. One survived World War II as a member of the Dutch resistance, the others perished in concentration camps and elsewhere in Nazi-occupied Europe. Silenced Voices includes the world premiere recording of wartime survivor Geza Frid's early Trio a cordes, Op. 1, an inventive work infused with Hungarian folk music influences. Composer-cellist Paul Hermann's Strijktrio, a forward-looking, cosmopolitan work from the early 1920s, shares it's melodies among all three instruments. Dick Kattenburg's youthful Trio a cordes was praised in a 1938 concert review for it's Inchremarkable mastery and a very personal style.Inch Gideon Klein's Trio for violin, viola and cello is notable for it's treatment of a Moravian folk song that serves as the theme of it's middle movement. Hans Krasa's Tanec (InchDanceInch) is a five-minute whirl of dancelike episodes framed by the sonic evocation of trains. His Passagalia is more somber, with it's own train motifs, while it's companion Fuga bears shades of Germanic and Czech influences and occasional grotesque touches. Sandor Kuti's Serenade for String Trio brims with Hungarian folk music and piquant chord clusters. His Franz Liszt Academy classmate, conductor Sir Georg Solti, later proclaimed that Kuti Inchwould have become one of Hungary's greatest composers.Inch Praised for it's Inchflamboyant vitalityInch and Inchexpert performancesInch (Chicago Tribune), the Black Oak Ensemble comprises Swiss-American violinist Desiree Ruhstrat and British-born cellist David Cunliffe of the acclaimed, Grammy-nominated Lincoln Trio and French-born violis
