  • Description

    Theodor Kirchner (1823-1903) had been friends with Brahms since 1862 and was enthusiastic about his music. This enthusiasm is reflected in several arrangements of his works, which were so successful that they won Brahms' explicit approval. The two piano trios based on the string sextets Op. 18 and Op. 36 presented here are among the particularly exquisite adaptations.



    "in the trio version the chamber music aspect and the art of the composer and arranger become wonderfully clear. This is particularly true of these interpretations, which impress with their transparency and agility as well as their high level of playing technique." – Pizzicato *****
