The Linos Piano Trio, formed in 2007, was founded around the transcription of Schönberg's Verklärte Nacht for piano trio by Eduard Steuermann.
Interpretation
The Linos Piano Trio's 'Stolen Music' project involves creating their own transcriptions, reimagining each work as if it were originally conceived for piano trio.
Performer Biography
The Linos Piano Trio won the First Prize and Audience Prize at the Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition in 2015.
Album & Artwork
The album title, 'Stolen Music', is inspired by Igor Stravinsky's quote, 'Good composers borrow, great ones steal,' reflecting the creative act of taking something and making it one's own.
Cultural Impact
Paul Dukas's L'apprenti sorcier (The Sorcerer's Apprentice) was famously adapted into a motion picture in 1940 for Walt Disney's animation Fantasia, featuring Mickey Mouse.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The four works on this recording—by Debussy, Dukas, Schönberg, and Ravel—share a common theme of transformation, often inspired by poetic images.
