Info for Haydn: Complete Piano Trios, Vol. 2

Der erste Band des Haydn-Zyklus des Trio Gaspard wurde von Käufern und Kritikern gleichermaßen enthusiastisch aufgenommen und von Gramophone als "ein Album fröhlichen, phantasievollen Musizierens, das Appetit auf weitere Folgen macht" beschrieben. Wie für den ersten Band hat das Trio auch für den zweiten Band ein Programm zusammengestellt, das in sich stimmig ist und Trios aus allen Schaffensperioden Haydns enthält. Drei spätere Werke (Nr. 33, 35 und 45) wurden alle 1794/95 komponiert und kontrastieren mit dem frühen Trio Nr. 7 aus der Zeit um 1760, während das Trio Nr. 21 aus der mittleren Periode des Komponisten 1784/85 entstanden ist. Wie in Band 1 beschließt das Trio Gaspard das Programm mit einem weiteren zeitgenössischen Werk, das das Programm widerspiegelt - in diesem Fall For Gaspard des Cellisten und Komponisten Leonid Gorokhov. Der erste der beiden Sätze (eine übliche Struktur in Haydns Trios), "Hidden D" (eine Anspielung auf den populären Verweis auf Haydns D-Dur-Cellokonzert), verarbeitet zahlreiche Themen aus diesem Stück, neben vielen anderen!

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.
