Info for A la memoire d'un grand artiste: Piano Trios by Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff & Goldenweiser

À la memoire d’un grand artiste – all of the piano trios recorded here share this subtitle. The dedications also serve as connecting links between the three works: Rachmaninoff’s piano trio, for example, is dedicated to the great composer Tchaikovsky, and Goldenweiser’s trio to Rachmaninoff. Even if two of the composers performed by Michael Schäfer, Ilona Then-Bergh, and Wen-Sinn Yang are not unknown, the trio once again prove themselves to be able explorers of forgotten repertoire. Only one recording of the Goldenweiser trio exists to date, for example, with the composer himself at the piano, and the Rachmaninoff trio is recorded here for the first time in its original 1893 version (with added harmonium), which is practically unknown today. At the same time, À la memoire d’un grand artiste is an anniversary release: pianist Michael Schäfer has been treating us to exciting rediscoveries for 10 years now on GENUIN classics, with 15 CDs to date in the Un!erhört series.
