We are proud to present the Gould Piano Trio's second recordings for Quartz - World premiere recordings of Robert Fuchs' first two piano trios. Robert Fuchs was a major (although currently undervalued) composer of the 19th Century and a contemporary of Brahms who was a major influence on many other composers, including Mahler, Sibelius, Wolf and Zemlinsky.
FUCHS, Robert (1847-1927) | | Trio No 1 in C major, Op. 22 | | 1. | Allegro moderato | 10:23 | | 2. | Adagio con molto espressione | 8:55 | | 3. | Adagio con molto espressione | 5:09 | | 4. | Finale: Allegro risoluto | 8:04 | | Trio No 2 in B flat major, Op. 72 | | 5. | Allegro molto moderato ma energico | 7:20 | | 6. | Allegro scherzando | 5:23 | | 7. | Andante sostenuto | 6:31 | | 8. | Finale. Allegro giocoso | 6:21 | | “Fuchs is a splendid musician. Everything is so fine and deft, so charmingly invented that one always takes delight in it! Brahms's comment is an admirable summing-up. The excellent Gould Trio respond sensitively to the two works' different natures, not holding back with the big gestures of the C major First of the somewhat funereal atmosphere of the Adagio, while lightening their touch with the more direct Second. These are very attractive performances of music that well deserves a return to the repertoire.”
