About
This recording of the Mendelssohn Trios marks the beginning of a new relationship between Audite and the Swiss Piano Trio. A recording of the complete Schumann Piano Trios is planned next, with the first volume scheduled for release in June 2011.
Mendelssohn’s Piano Trios of 1839 and 1845 are, along with the piano trios of Beethoven and Schubert, pinnacles of the genre in the 19th-century. Mendelssohn found solutions which captivate his listeners through the plasticity of their thematic and melodic invention, their rhythmic succinctness, their formal originality and, particularly, their uninterrupted soundstream, anticipating Reger.
The Swiss Piano Trio has won numerous prizes at international competitions, including the International Chamber Music Competition Caltanissetta in Italy and the Johannes Brahms Competition in Austria.
Founded in 1998, the ensemble has a busy performing schedule and has played in over 35 countries worldwide. As an ensemble of soloists, the three musicians regularly appear with renowned orchestras. Numerous recordings for radio, television and on disc document the artistic activities of the ensemble.

[Op. 49] is confidently captured by the players - a nicely impulsive opening movement with a good sense of lyricism and a clear overview in place. Pianist Martin Lucas Staub drives the impetus assertively with an ambitious tempo, and the strings sustain a robust connection with the music's agitated undercurrent.
