Description
The unusual combination of clarinet, viola and piano performs works by Paul Juon, Johan Amberg, Robert Schumann and Jean Francaix.
Each movement in Robert Schumann's eponymous Marchenerzahlungen (Fairy Tales) has an almost narrative character and conjures up concrete scenes in the mind's eye. Although the movement designations here consist only of
tempo or interpretation indications, the programmatic background of the respective pieces can hardly be ignored.
The other three works for the same instrumentation on this album also have narrative structures.
'The Eiger Trio's performance of the Françaix is beyond reproach: a carefully prepared and technically assured reading of a work considered to be really difficult. Precise characterization and technical command are no less evident in the other works, though these probably do not present similar challenges.' – Music Web International
