Gramophone Editor's Choice -February 2009 Best Foreign Chamber Group 2009 (Asociacion de Criticos Musicales de la Argentina) Echo Klassik Prize 2010 Described as "one
of the world's leading ensembles of violin, cello and piano" (Washington
Post), and "the Beaux Arts Trio of the 21st century" (The
Baltimore Sun), the Vienna Piano Trio has been praised for its silken
homogenous sound, and its "telepathic gifts of communication"
(The Plain Dealer). The ensemble studied with the Trio di Trieste, the Beaux Arts Trio, the Haydn Trio Wien; Isaac Stern chose them for his 1993 Public Chamber
Music Workshop at Carnegie Hall. For years, the ensemble performed in Vienna within the Jeunesse series at the Wiener Musikverein; as of the 06/07 season the trio has become the ensemble-in-residence at Vienna's Konzerthaus within the Mozartsaal series. In the 2011/12 season, it will also become the ensemble-in-residence at London's Wigmore Hall. The Vienna Piano Trio
annually
appears at the major stages in Europe, North and South America, and in Asia.
In addition, the ensemble has appeared in South Africa, New Zealand and
Australia. In North America, the ensemble has performed at Carnegie's Weill
Recital Hall, Kennedy and Festival appearances
include Some of the recent touring in Europe took the group to, among others, England (BBC-Manchester, Wigmore Hall, St. Luke’s - the Beethoven Triple with the English Chamber Orchestra, The City of London Festival), Germany (Beethoventage Bonn), Japan (Tokyo, Yokohama), France (Paris, Lyon), Belgium (Brussels, Antwerp), The Netherlands, and Australia and New Zealand. Beethoven Fest Bonn (the Beethoven Triple w. Munich Chmb. O.), Heidelberg Fruehling (all Schumann trios), and appearances at Berlin Konzerthaus, Hamburg Musikhalle, Munich Gasteig, Among the highlights of the 09/10 season is their debut at the Shanghai Concert Hall as the opening of a new Vienna Konzerthaus series in Shanghai, and debuts in Moscow and for "Radio France" in Paris as well as extensive tours through North and South America Concerts of the ensemble have been repeatedly broadcast on NPR stations, and the trio has appeared live on WNYC New York, WGBH Boston and St. Paul Sunday. Recordings for Nimbus (including trios by Haydn,
Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Dvorak, Schnittke and
Shostakovich) have won many awards; in May 1999 Classic CD voted them
"Top of the Class," and The London Times voted their Beethoven CD as Record Of The Year. Of their recording of
Mozart trios, Classic CD wrote: "exemplary performances,
subtle, eloquent, perfectly balanced, beautifully supple and continuously
communicative." Since 2003, the ensemble has been recording
exclusively for MDG. In August 03 and February 04 BBC Music Magazine
declared its Vols I and II of Schubert recordings
to be Benchmark Recordings. Two Dvorak recordings released in 04 are
meeting with critical acclaim. BBC Music Magazine gives Vol I Five Stars and says: "These performances
are, quite simply, stunning...interpretative playing of the highest quality
enhanced by a natural sound put this issue well ahead of any other
contenders". 1992 Concours Charles Hennen 1989 Certificate of Distinction, Best Piano Trio, Accademia Musicale Chigiana |
