About
Recordings featuring Reber are few and far between: one recent recording of the four symphonies, and a long time ago three trios for piano, violin and cello.
These trios have everything going for them. They are works of constant inspiration, howing a ‘French’ romanticism on the lines of Onslow, though with its roots also in Schumann and even Brahms. Impeccably written, like the music of his French contemporary Lalo.
The Trio Élégiaque has been a sensation over the past few years. After a disc of contemporary music (Dusapin) it has conquered audiences with another of Russian music. Its complete Beethoven Trios is soon to be released.

Certainly they’re rooted in Classical procedure, but I wouldn’t say that they evoke the eighteenth century. They’re certainly not pastiche. Instead Reber clearly looked to more recent models for his finely laid out trios...the Trio Élégiaque is a worthy guide and characterises the music with perception.
