Mozart: Trio for Clarinet, Viola and Piano in E-Flat Major, K. 498 “Kegelstatt”
09. I. Andante
10. II. Menuetto
11. III. Rondeaux
With the “Kegelstatt” Trio for clarinet, viola and piano, Mozart may have been the first to compose for what was an atypical association at the time, but he was soon emulated by Schumann, Reinecke, Hurlstone and Max Bruch – who composed his Eight Pieces Op.83 in 1910 for his son. In a kaleidoscope of styles, Bruch conjures up rhapsodies, Romanian music, Brahms and Mendelssohn, imbuing his miniatures with an intense, passionate lyricism. Patrick Messina, Lise Berthaud and Fabrizio Chiovetta bring these two works together in this recording, which is served by their undeniable complicity and remarkable accuracy of expression.
