Named after the legendary violinist Adolf Busch (1891-1952), this young trio has already established itself on the international scene as one of the most talented of the new generation. Under the aegis of Alpha Classics and the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel, the group set itself a challenge: to record the complete chamber music with keyboard of Antonín Dvořák. They managed to complete this project in four years and four discs: two albums of the piano trios, one of the piano quartets and one of the quintets. They were joined where necessary by the violist Miguel da Silva (founder of the famous Quatuor Ysaÿe) and the violinist Maria Milstein. The four discs are assembled here in a boxed set, providing an opportunity to listen to all ten opuses that make up the Czech composer's output of chamber music with piano. Throughout these recordings, there is an obvious rapport between the musicians, who share with us their passion for this repertory and their pleasure in playing together.
