The Trio Wanderer pays tribute to Dvorák and his last two trios. Alongside the sombre interiority and fiery intensity of the Trio No. 3 in F minor, this programme presents a new version of the famous Dumky Trio, to which the Wanderers owed their first great success on record. Passionate and melancholy by turns, it is also the most innovative and the freest of Dvorák's trios. A fine symbol for the Trio Wanderer, which has just reached its 30th year of existence without ever ceasing to surprise and touch us. Happy anniversary and hats off!
"the sound of Trio Wanderer exploring a favourite work they've lived with throughout their 30 year history; you can hear the joy and passion with which they approach Dvorak's heart on sleeve romances, songlike melodic lines and folk inspired rhythms." Record Review
The Trio Wanderer, now 30 years old, sounds as sparkling and zestful as ever in Dvorák's infectious "Dumky" trio, Op 90, truly a work to lift spirits, though not without melancholy. The last of the composer's works for the medium, it bursts with Slavonic dance rhythms and lyrical folk melody, wonderfully captured by this incisive French ensemble. ... This is virtuosic playing of a high order." The Observer
"Trio Wanderer manages to balance a sense of lyric and impetuous spontaneity with a lean tonal precision that rivals what the Beaux Arts Trio did for this great music two generations ago. The smooth sound effect, courtesy of Engineer Rene Moeller, guarantee the enchantment will endure throughout all one's auditions of this superb disc!" AudAud Five Stars
