Wall Darvarova Inoue - Horn Trios - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

HORN TRIOS by Brahms, Kahn, Koechlin and Dubois is an exciting album that brings together three renowned musicians in a splendid trio collaboration. Hornist Howard Wall has been for many years at the forefront of highly-respected horn players, not only as a long-time member of two of the world's preeminent symphony orchestras, but also as an avid chamber music instrumentalist and recording artist, praised for his Inchlegendary low registerInch and Inchimpeccable intonation and stellar virtuosityInch by The Horn Call Magazine, which also noted that Inchevery note is a gemInch in recently released recordings of Howard Wall. Violinist Elmira Darvarova has been hailed as Inchmarvelous, in the Heifetz traditionInch (American Record Guide) and acclaimed for her Inchintoxicating tonal beauty and beguilingly sensuous phrasingInch and Inchsilky-smooth voluptuous toneInch (The Strad, London). Pianist Shoko Inoue was lauded by the Cleveland Plain Dealer as Incha pianist who immerses heart, soul and everything into her generous artistry, with supremely sensitive and evocative playing.Inch This album brings thrilling and exhilarating interpretations of four gorgeous works for horn, violin and piano, one of which has been, for over 150 years, among the greatest ever masterpieces in the history of Western music, while two of the other works on this album - the glorious 1912 Trio Cantabile by Théodore Dubois, and the boisterous 1922 Serenade Op. 73 by Robert Kahn are presented on this album as only the second-ever commercially-released recordings of these works. Charles Koechlin's eclectic suite Quatre Petite Pièces is a haunting and poignant quasi-impressionistic collection of four miniatures, that alternate, as in a kaleidoscope, contrasting atmospheric moods and degrees of sorrow and peaceful introspection. This marvelous album is an irresistible addition to the recorded repertoir
