Audite continues its Eduard Franck series with the Piano Trios Op. 11 and Op. 58, two large-scale and sound-intensive works, which are amongst Franck’s most attractive compositions. Both works display an impressive compositional aplomb and a rich palette of stylistic devices. Today, Eduard Franck is considered a mediator between the generations of the main masters, a link between Schumann and Mendelssohn on the one hand and Bruch, Brahms and Bruckner on the other.The richness of these rediscovered works is surprising even a century after Franck’s death.
