The Trio Paideia, consisting of Nerine Barrett (piano), Hans Dietrich Klaus (clarinet), and Claus Kanngiesser (violoncello), are all professors at German colleges of music with international solo careers.
Composition History
Unlike string quartets and piano trios, very few composers combined the clarinet with the cello and piano, making specialized ensembles like Trio Paideia rare and important.
Composition History
This two-part project aims to gather a half dozen compositions for the rare instrumentation of clarinet, violoncello, and piano.
Instruments
The violoncello used in this recording was made by David Tecchler in Rome in 1723.
Historical Context
After the First World War, the social and cultural climate changed, leading to the decline of late romantic ideals and the disappearance of compositions symbolizing those traditions from public view.
Album & Artwork
The album title, 'In the Shadow of Brahms', refers to composers whose works have become less visible and audible over time, often overshadowed by more famous figures like Brahms.
