Trio Wanderer - Tchaikovsky, Arensky: Piano Trios (2013)

Tchaikovsky’s celebrated large-scale Trio Op.50 sets the tone of this recording, at once elegiac and virtuosic. Dedicated to his friend Nikolay Rubinstein with the French epigraph ‘À la mémoire d'un grand artiste’, it shows great originality both in its dimensions and in its style, which calls for highly skilled performers. A similarly ambitious work is the Trio Op.32 of Anton Stepanovich Arensky, also dedicated to the memory of a musician, the cellist Karl Davidov (1838-89). This gem of chamber music, much less often played, constitutes the true discovery of the programme. The Trio Wanderer celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2012. Feted by the international press for its extraordinarily sensitive playing, its almost telepathic complicity, and its complete instrumental mastery, the Trio Wanderer is one of the finest chamber music formations in the world today. Dubbed ‘Wandering Star’ by The Strad magazine, it is invited to appear in the most prestigious concert series and at the leading festivals. Since 1999 the trio have recorded for harmonia mundi: 13 recordings have appeared so far, repeatedly winning awards from the critics (Choc de l’Année in Le Monde de la Musique, Critics’ Choice in Gramophone, CD des Monats in Fono Forum, CD of the Month in BBC Music Magazine, Diapason d’Or de l’Année, Midem Classical Award). The group’s recent interpretation of the Mendelssohn trios was chosen as the benchmark version by the New York Times.

Composer: Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Anton Arensky
Orchestra/Ensemble: Wanderer Trio

Reviews: The combination of Tchaikovsky's Piano Trio in A minor, Op. 50, with Anton Arensky's Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Op. 32, is a common one, for the two works were both written as memorials to instrumentalists. Good recordings in the stereo era go back to one recorded by Yefim Bronfman, Cho-Liang Lin, and Gary Hoffman on Sony some years ago, but the present release can stand with such classics. The two trios share an unusual mix of passionate virtuosity and elegiac quality, as if to remember the powers of the deceased player. Tchaikovsky's trio is a massive work, clocking in at well over 40 minutes even at the brisk tempos at which it is taken here. It requires a pianist who can approach it with unflagging energy and a broad sweep, and that's just what it gets here from Vincent Coq of France's fast-rising Trio Wanderer. The group is impressively colorful in the theme and the set of 12 variations that make up the work's second movement, changing textures and moods on a dime without a moment's slackness, and delivering full power in the stirring "Variation Finale & Coda." The Arensky trio, composed in 1894, was dedicated to the memory of cellist Karl Davydov, but one might see it as well as a memorial to Tchaikovsky. It is clearly influenced by the Tchaikovsky trio, but it tries to pack its emotions into more conventional forms. Arensky's melodic gift is fully in evidence here, and Trio Wanderer makes it sing. Fine studio sound from Harmonia Mundi is a major attraction here and gives this recording the edge over several earlier outings. Highly recommended.
