The six piano trios KV 10 - 15 seemed to be only clumsy attempts of the little Mozart to many people up to now. The Abegg Trio using historical instruments opens the unexpected big world of the wunderkind. Sometimes you feel like sitting in a garden with thousands of wondrous, fabulous toys. Mozart tries out everything. He is never boring, often funny. With each new movement he knows more. He plays in the meadow of possibilities and it's a joy to follow him. The question of maturity is irrelevant. Either these pieces are InchmatureInch or it is a delight to see the growing mastery. The Abegg Trio demonstrates once more his ability of intelligent program selection and witty and subtle performance. - Co-production with DeutschlandRadio.
