Program:
Robert Schumann: »Märchenbilder« for Piano and Viola op. 113, »Märchenerzählungen« for Clarinet, Viola and Piano op. 132
Johannes Brahms: Clarinet sonata Nr. 1 F Minor op. 120/1
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Trio Es Major KV 498 »Kegelstatt-Trio«

They are some of the leading artists of France on their instruments and among the most exceptionally talented performers of our times: pianist David Fray, clarinettist Paul Meyer and violist Gérard Caussé. Their performance of works by Mozart, Schumann and Brahms in the opulent Knight’s Hall of Gödens Palace make the enchantment of chamber music a tangible experience. Mozart was determined in pursuing his concept of equal prominence and weight in the participation of all music partners in his »Kegelstatt Trio«. Schumann seamless continued the treatment in his »Märchenerzählungen« by emphasising the special charm of this unusual trio grouping and its unique aural result. Whether a duet or trio, no instrument in this programme ever plays simply the role of a »voice to fill in the harmony«; each of them is called upon to contribute virtuosity, depth of expression and structural integrity as a partner in the dialogue — for an enrapturing richness of inventive melodies, rhythms, harmonies and instrumental colours!
