Info for Haydn: Complete Piano Trios, Vol. 5

Das Trio Gaspard zählt zu den gefragtesten jungen Kammerensembles seiner Art und wird für seine einzigartige und frische Herangehensweise an die Partitur gelobt. Eine aktuelle Aufnahme veranlasste die Zeitung „The Times“ zu folgendem Fazit: „Kaleidoskopische Klangtexturen und spritziger Witz, vom Trio Gaspard wunderbar vermittelt … ein Hörgenuss“. Es wurde 2010 gegründet, seine Mitglieder stammen aus Deutschland, Griechenland und Großbritannien. Sie studierten an der Europäischen Kammermusikakademie in Wien. Haydns Musik spielt seit fünfzehn Jahren eine zentrale Rolle in ihrem Programm, und es kommt selten vor, dass sie ein Konzert ohne eines seiner Werke geben.

Das Trio Gaspard schreibt: „In dieser Aufnahmeserie präsentieren wir Haydns reichhaltiges Schaffen für Klaviertrio weder chronologisch noch in den Gruppen, in denen die Werke ursprünglich veröffentlicht wurden. Stattdessen ist Band 5, genau wie die vorangegangenen CDs, als Programm kontrastreicher Trios konzipiert, die man in einem einzigen Durchgang hören kann. Wir setzen auch die Reihe zeitgenössischer Werke fort, die wir als Begleitprogramm zu unserem Haydn-Projekt in Auftrag gegeben haben, und freuen uns, die Weltpremiere von Helena Winkelmans „Threesome in a High-den“ präsentieren zu dürfen.“
