***PREMIERE RECORDING***

Following the spectacular world premiere of Molique's piano trios with his Trio Parnassus (MDG3032116), the series continues with more chamber music by this composer - an enthralling addition to the repertoire splendidly presented by the talented young stars of the Parnassus Academy.

'This composer's chamber and vocal compositions ought to be more frequently heard.' is what the English press wrote about Bernhard Molique during his lifetime, and Michael Groß has committed himself to fulfilling this.

A pupil of of the famous Louis Spohr, Molique skillfully combined public taste and artistic ambition as well as virtuosity and melodicism to form a marvellous musical union.

Recorded in MDG's perfectly balanced Super Audio CD sound, this is a wonderful addition to the catalogue and will be a joy for all fans of Louis Spohr.

May/June 2020

The sound of this release has a spacious ambience, good clarity, detail and instrumental definition, and appropriate balances. The timbre of the flute is captured with all of its subtleties. This release confirms my impression of Molique as an accomplished and resourceful composer whose output is well worth exploring.

December 2019

I think I have found a new friend. Immediately appealing, charming and, if not greatly original in thought or language, genial company...‘Think Jane Austen’ might give you an idea of what to expect, an admix of Hummel and with a sprinkling of graceful Mozart.
