About
The Benvenue Fortepiano Trio concludes its acclaimed and ear-opening traversal of period-instrument performances of Schumann's Piano Trios, supplemented with the Piano Quartet and Kinderszenen.
The Benvenue Fortepiano Trio's acclaimed accounts of Schumann's First and Third Piano Trios opened the ears of chamber music devotees with the crystalline textures of its period instruments and the drawing-room intimacy of its interpretations. Anchored by the enterprising violinist Monica Huggett who has produced numerous chart-topping recordings and a Grammy® nomination for AVIE, the Trio completes Schumann's canon for the genre, complementing the Second Trio with the Piano Quartet and casting the spotlight on Eric Zivian and his mellifluous 1841 instrument with his rendition of Schumann's beloved Kinderszenen.

January 2013
it's in the Quartet that the Benvenue Fortepiano Trio is at its most convincing, the addition of viola player Adam LaMotte redressing that can elsewhere be a violin-heavy focus. The Scherzo has plenty of buoyancy and the finale is high on adrenaline.
