Trio Zimmermann


Following their acclaimed recordings of the works for string trio by Mozart and Beethoven, Trio Zimmermann make a great leap in time. Arnold Schoenberg and Paul Hindemith were both at the avant-garde epicentre of the 1910s and 1920s, but their future paths could hardly have been more different. Whereas Schoenberg would go on to have a decisive influence on twentieth-century modernism with his dodecaphonic music and the Second Viennese School, Paul Hindemith gradually renounced his rebellious early music, eventually becoming something of an anachronistic loner.

The relatively early String Trio No. 1(1924) already betrays the composer's interest in the forms and textures of baroque music. It opens with a flittering Toccata, going on to offer a contrapuntal web in its slow movement and ends with a double fugue. The contrapuntal textures are present also in the Second String Trio, but the neotonal language and general atmosphere point forward to later, large-scale works such as Mathis der Mahler.

fantastic, another BIS album with a work by Schoenberg, with Zimmermann no less. I'm still enjoying Schoenberg: String Quartets 2 & 4 - Gringolts Quartet

if you weren't planning on buying this SACD, then you surely should reconsider, based on Andrew Clements' 5 star review: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/sep/27/schoenberg-hindemith-string-trios-cd-review-trio-zimmerman?CMP=twt_a-music_b-gdnmusic
