Kelemen, Altstaedt & Lonquich: Brahms and Schumann

Kelemen, Altstaedt and Lonquich

Three quintessential musicians, that's how you could characterize the combination of Barnabás Kelemen, Nicolas Altstaedt and Alexander Lonquich. This is a trio that is evenly matched, their performance together is spectacular in many ways. The renowned music magazine The Strad praised Lonquich's piano playing, which is packed with color and has an astonishing variety of timbres. Judge for yourself in the beautiful music of Brahms and Schumann.

Brahms

It is an attractive idea to let the individual players of a piano trio speak separately or as a duo - Brahms devoted three consecutive opus numbers to that concept: 99, 100 and 101. Tonight's three musicians make a different selection in this program from Brahms' oeuvre, but adhere to the challenge of demonstrating the unity in diversity of the piano trio.
