Vienna Brahms Trio

Boris Kuschnir, Orfeo Man­dozzi, Jas­minka Stancul

The Vienna Brahms Trio dis­tin­guishes itself for its impec­cable play­ing and “Vien­nese Charm”. Their inter­pret­a­tions set them­selves apart with the com­bin­a­tion of respect for tra­di­tion and aston­ish­ing innov­at­ive briskness. The Vienna Brahms Trio is formed by three strong per­son­al­it­ies that merge in har­mony, and cre­ate a unique ensemble. Their pas­sion is the bring­ing together of beauty, per­fec­tion and lively music mak­ing. The Vienna Brahms Trio is com­posed of three world-wide renowned cham­ber musi­cians who, as soloists, have won many import­ant inter­na­tional com­pet­i­tions. Foun­ded in 1993, the Trio made a sen­sa­tional debut in the sum­mer of that same year at Gidon Kremer’s Cham­ber Music Fest­ival of Lock­en­haus. In 1996 the Vienna Brahms Trio won the First Prize at the Inter­na­tional Cham­ber Music Com­pet­i­tion of Illzach (Alsace, France).

Since then the Vienna Brahms Trio has per­formed with great suc­cess in the most import­ant ven­ues and fest­ivals world­wide. The numer­ous appear­ances include con­certs in the Wiener Musik­ver­ein dur­ing the “Wiener Fest­wochen”, Moz­ar­teum Salzburg, Köl­ner Phil­har­monie, Bruck­ner­haus Linz, Museum-Society in Frank­furt, Wig­more Hall in Lon­don, Auitorio National in Mad­rid, Wiener Konzer­thaus, Vatroslav Lis­in­ski Con­cert Hall in Zagreb, at the Richter Fest­ival “Decem­ber Even­ings” in Moscow and the St. Peters­burg “Musical Spring” at the “Bre­gen­zer Früh­ling”, at the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Fest­ival and at “White Nights” in St. Peters­burg, Schuber­tiade Roskilde in Däne­mark and the Divonne-Festival. The Vienna Brahms Trio also often invites prom­in­ent guest artists to join their per­form­ances, such as Julian Rach­lin, Nikolaj Znaider, Yuri Bash­met, Gérard Caussé and Lawrence Power.

As an ensemble the Trio has per­formed vari­ous Triple Con­cer­tos: with Wiener Cham­ber Orches­tra, dir­ec­ted by Dr. Charles Ans­bacher, they played Beethoven’s Triple Con­certo at Wiener Konzer­thaus; with the same ensemble they played the Con­certo at the Fest­ival “Bre­gen­zer Früh­ling”, under the dir­ec­tion of Phil­ippe Entremont, and again, to crit­ical acclaim, with the Irish National Orches­tra in the National Con­cert Hall of Dub­lin, dir­ec­ted by Ger­hard Mark­son. In Lux­em­bourg the Vienna Brahms Trio played the Triple Con­certo by Bohuslav Mar­tinu, with the Sol­istes Européens dir­ec­ted by Jack Händ­ler. The Com­plete Piano Trios by Schu­mann have been recor­ded by Vienna Brahms Trio for NAXOS. This edi­tion on 2 CDs is a ref­er­ence record­ing, which was hon­oured by sev­eral inter­na­tional music magazines.
