Trio Orphéus - Alchimie (2022) [Official Digital Download 24/88]

While the trio with organ is a rarity in the musical repertoire, the format offers extraordinary possibilities. Works presented in this recording reveal a great diversity of 19 th -century compositions – transcriptions of symphonic works played in Paris salons (‘Orpheus’ by Franz Liszt, ‘Danse Macabre’ by Camille Saint-Saëns), an original piece conceived for the Bavarian royal court (Suite op. 149 by J. G. Rheinberger) – as well as a contemporary composition in the style of the period. Listening to these works, the boundaries between orchestral music, chamber music and organ music are blurred in a sophisticated alchemy.
