Album insights
Daniel Barenboim on piano, Michael Barenboim on violin, and Kian Soltani on cello form an exceptional trio. Their performances are infused with captivating joy and unique harmony, reflecting the ensemble's rich experience from numerous live concerts. Displaying Mozart's characteristic style with precision, nuance, and perfect balance, the trio merges seamlessly to create finely tuned interpretations. Mozart's chamber music gems deserve more frequent appreciation and play. Despite Mozart's piano trios playing a relatively minor role in his extensive works, his six piano trios mark a significant step towards the independence of string instruments from the piano. These consistently three-movement pieces enchant with their catchy, entertaining, and diverse charm. The majority of these works are from Mozart's later years, emphasizing why connoisseurs hold a deep appreciation for his chamber music, particularly evident in his final three piano trios.
