Heinrich August Marschner is considered the most important exponent of German Romantic opera in the generation between Carl Maria von Weber and Richard Wagner.
Performer Biography
The Gould Piano Trio won First Prize at the Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition and was named European Concert Hall Organisation 'Rising Stars'.
Composition History
Marschner's opera Der Vampyr, a collaboration with his brother-in-law Wilhelm August Wohlbrück, capitalized on the popular 'Dark Romantic' literary movement.
Composer Biography
Marschner met Ludwig van Beethoven in Vienna in 1815 and found work as a music teacher in Pressburg (today Bratislava).
Performer Biography
The Gould Piano Trio has recorded not only standard works but also neglected gems from late-Romantic British repertoire by composers like Charles Villiers Stanford and John Ireland.
Critical Reception
The Allgemeine musikalische Zeitung praised Marschner's chamber works for their 'uncommon talent for discovering melodies that are always interesting and never ordinary'.
