This recording brings together three piano trios united less by era than by a shared search for the moment when music transcends itself. Cesar Franck's youthful Trio in F-sharp minor bursts with emotional immediacy and a sense of unguarded freedom, while Edvard Grieg's single-movement trio unfolds as a shimmering, ever-changing play of light and motion. Completing the set is the enigmatic A-major Trio long attributed to Brahms, whose warm, expansive voice feels familiar even though its true authorship remains uncertain. The young E.T.A. Trio - violinist Elene Meipariani, cellist Nadja Reich and pianist Till Hoffmann - bring alertness and curiosity to this repertoire, an approach that mirrors their own rapid rise through European concert halls including the Elbphilharmonie, the Wigmore Hall and the Schwetzingen SWR Festival. Together, these performances offer a panorama of chamber music that is bold, poetic and full of open questions.
