International award-winning young piano trio the Fournier Trio make their Resonus Classics debut with a fresh and exciting new recording of the late C minor (Op. 66) and D minor (Op. 49) piano trios by one of the most significant composers of chamber music in the nineteenth century, Felix Mendelssohn.
The Fournier Trio bring new life and vitality to these two trios, Mendelssohn's only output in the genre, that arguably represent the very pinnacle of his select chamber output.
'The Fournier Trio have garnered a number of accolades and it's not difficult to hear why, for this is playing with a high level of finish to it. Even the scherzos have not a hair out of place. They reveal, above all, the elegance of Mendelssohn's writing' - Gramophone
