Info for Haydn Complete Piano Trios, Vol. 1 - Fischer one bar wonder

Haydn has been central to the repertoire of the Trio Gaspard since its inception, to the extent that it is rare for it to perform a programme that does not include his music. For this complete survey of Haydn’s Trios, the pianist Nicholas Rimmer notes: ‘we have decided to record the trios neither chronologically nor in the groups in which they were first published. Instead, we have aimed to create an interesting and contrasted “programme” of trios for each volume, so that it can be listened to in a single, satisfying sitting. In addition, we have asked a composer to write a short work inspired by one of the trios from each volume, and we are excited by the contemporary perspectives on Haydn that these composers open up for us. This first album features a work by our good friend, the percussionist and composer Johannes Fischer. We hope that the listener will share in this rich journey – spanning forty years of Haydn’s life and more than forty brilliant works of music. Amazingly, each of these trios is unique enough to warrant individual attention and repeated listening.’

Founded in 2010, Trio Gaspard has become one of the most sought-after piano trios of its generation, whose members are praised for their unique and fresh approach to the score. The Trio is regularly invited to perform at leading concert halls throughout the world. It has an impressive history of international festival appearances, and each member also continues to pursue a successful solo career.

Trio Gaspar
Winners of three major international competitions since their inception in 2010, Trio Gaspard is rapidly proving to be one of the most exciting young piano trios to emerge in recent years. In February 2012 The trio won 1st Prize and Special Prize for the best interpretation of a modern work at the International Joseph Joachim Chamber Music Competition in Weimar. They were awarded 1st Prize at the 5th International Haydn Chamber Music Competition in Vienna in February 2012, as well as receiving the Special Prize for the best interpretation of a work by Joseph Haydn. Additionally, the Trio won 1st Prize at the 17th International Chamber Music Competition in Illzach, France in March 2011. Founded in October 2010, Trio Gaspard has already given acclaimed recitals at the Wigmore Hall, London-; the historic Schlosstheater of Schönbrunn Palace, the ORF Kulturhaus in Vienna-; and at Salle Moliere in Lyon, France. Their performances have been broadcasted for SWR (German South West Radio) , ORF (Austrian Radio) and on Korean radio and television (KBS ‘Classical Odyssey’).

Trio Gaspard, whose members hail from South Korea, Greece and the UK, works regularly with the internationally renowned musician and one of the founding members of the Alban Berg Quartet, Professor Hatto Beyerle. Mr Beyerle describes them as ‘The best Piano Trio I have ever had, or heard’, and invited them to join the European Chamber Music Academy. As members of this prestigious organisation Trio Gaspard has given concerts in Germany, France, Paris, England and Vienna and had coaching sessions with many renowned teachers, including Johannes Meissl(Artis Quartet), Gerrit Zitterbart(Trio Abegg), Ferenc Rados, Avedis Kouyoumdjian and Peter Cropper(Lindsay Quartet).

All three players are successful soloists in their own right and continue to pursue their solo careers, giving recitals and performing concertos in prestigious halls across Europe, Asia and the USA. These venues include the Konzerthaus Berlin, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Lincoln Center New York, Auditori de Madrid, Opera City Hall Tokyo, Megaron Music Hall Athens, Salle Garnier Montecarlo, Teatro Verdi di Firenze, Schubert-Saal Konzerthaus Vienna, Auditorio San Barnaba Brescia Teatro dei Rozzi Siena, Rudolfnium Hall Prague, Royal Festival Hall and Barbican Hall London.
