Trio Bohemo- Anton Reicha - Complete Pno Trios / Trio Bohemo (CD) (PREORDER)
After two centuries, Reicha's trios are brought to life with irresistible energyAnton Reicha was probably right when - unlike his colleagues - he avoidedpromoting his own works, being aware that his genius would not be fullyappreciated until long after his death. His spirit of experimentation anticipatedsome of the phenomena of 20th-century music (minimalism, microintervalsetc.). It is only now, in the 21st century, that his name is becoming morewidely known, without constantly having to bring up his inspirationalfriendship with Beethoven or make reference to his more famous Parisianpupils like Berlioz, Gounod, or Franck. Following the premiere recording of hiscomplete Piano Concerto (Bartos, Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra, Popelka2025), Reicha's Six Piano Trios, Op. 101, finally make their debut in a referencerecording. It took all of 202 years since the first printed edition (1824)for one of his last opuses to find it's way onto a recording of the interpretiveand technical quality that the music deserves. Here, the composer's constantsurprises keep his listeners alert, and the technical demands on the musiciansclearly show that the trios were written for elite performers. In this music,the composer's visionary imagination anticipates the full-bloodedRomanticism of Robert Schumann and his contemporaries. The marvellousTrio Bohemo has received deserved acclaim for it's Supraphon debut(Smetana, Schubert, 2024). For this recording in Vienna, they invitedthe proven recording team of producer Andrew Keener and soundengineer Oscar Torres. Up in the musical heavens, Reicha is surely smilingat the invigorating result, made even more vivid in Dolby Atmos sound.
