About
Constantly shifting from the most impulsive exuberance to the most restrained meditation, from the most intense passion to the most innocent tenderness, this programme forms a representative panorama of Schumann’s chamber music.
Going beyond the piano trios, which already give us a fully rounded account of Schumann, Trio Wanderer have invited their favourite partners to join them for their interpretation of two supreme masterpieces - the Piano Quartet and Piano Quintet.

August 2021
The playing [in the Quintet and Quartet] has a delightful combination of zest and refinement, and love for the music’s poetry and delight in its unique inventiveness emanates from just about every phrase.
September/October 2021
[Quartet] Quite marvelous in the Scherzo is the sense of delight at playing the rapid passagework so nimbly and with perfect ensemble. Coq’s pianism is reserved by virtuoso standards, but it is all the more effective for merging into the overall tone. Pidoux plays the opening theme of the slow movement exquisitely.
July 2021
Spirit and energy are features of the music-making here, whether in the outer movements of the Piano Quintet or the Allegro of the Quartet. And there’s also an inherent classicism compared to some accounts.
6th May 2021
There’s an exuberance about the quintet especially that is carried forward into some of the fantasy pieces, and there Trio Wanderer capture that sense of playfulness very well...But the virtues of the Wanderer’s playing, their immaculate ensemble and balance, really come into their own in the numbered trios.
