About
Johann Christian Heinrich Rinck is also celebrating the 250th anniversary of his birth in 2020. During his lifetime Rinck was highly esteemed and showered with honours, but today his music has been almost completely forgotten. The Trio Parnassus has explored Rinck's choice oeuvre for chamber music and discovered a composer who combines Rococo elegance with Romantic ideas in a most highly individual manner. The Trio Parnassus has maintained a reputation as one of the finest piano trios in Germany from the latter-twentieth and early-twenty first centuries, gaining notoriety for their expertise in rediscovery of forgotten compositions by nineteenth century composers. The Trio Parnassus has made over 30 recordings, all for the MDG label.

Rinck’s equally slight but charming works may be no lost masterpieces but their craftsmanship, graceful lyricism, often catchy themes, economic means and unassuming character are easy on the ear, reminiscent at various times of Haydn, Mozart, Hummel and Mendelssohn…Helen Dabringhaus, like her colleagues, plays with a smile, ensuring that what could easily become flat-footed and earnest is mischievous, piquant and engaging.
