BUY NOW!
The Mexican-American composer, Juan Trigos, has developed the concept of ‘abstract folklore’, a process by which he assimilates various literary and musical traditions in his method of composition. This first volume of his guitar works shows the process in all its breadth, not least in the large-scale Twelve Variations and Fugue on the Folía de España , where old-world dances meet syncopated new-world rhythms. The Partita , based on the principle of variation, also evokes and alludes to dance, while the virtuosic and expressive Ricercare de Cámara VII ingeniously explores the fusion of guitar and percussion. Key features: • Dieter Hennings has won First Prize in several prestigious competitions including the 2008 Aaron Brock International Guitar Competition (Toronto), 2005 Eastman Guitar Concerto Competition, the 2002 Villa de Petrer, Alicante (Spain) International Young Artists Competition, and the 2001 Portland International Guitar Competition, among others. • Percussionist Paul Vaillancourt has performed internationally with contemporary music ensembles including Bent Frequency, Sonic Generator, Furious Band and The Fountain City Ensemble. His latest project with guitarist, Dieter Hennings, has led to premieres and recording projects of works by Brian Cherney, Orlando Garcia, Ricardo Zohn-Muldoon and Juan Trigos.

Ferdinand RIES (1784–1838) Piano Trios Trio Egmont
BUY NOW!
Ferdinand Ries occupies a remarkable place in the history of music. He was famously a friend and pupil of Beethoven and a virtuoso pianist. His extensive oeuvre opened up the musical aesthetics of Viennese Classicism to Romanticism. Completed in 1826, the Piano Trio in C minor, Op. 143 features two lively, fast movements surrounding a poetic Adagio , reminiscent of the era’s finest opera arias. Very different is the Grand Trio in F minor, WoO 86 . It features four thematically interwoven movements that traverse emotions from despair to passion and eventual peace. Key features: • Since its foundation in 2019, Trio Egmont has combined historical awareness with radical freedom and a delicate sense of sound. In summer 2021, the trio won First Prize and the Ries Special Prize at the first international competition Beethoven in seiner Zeit for chamber music on historical instruments in Siegburg. • Concert tours have taken the musicians to Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy and Great Britain. The ensemble has performed at the Beethoven Festival in Bonn, the Schumann Festival in Zwickau, La Nouvelle Athènes – Centre des pianos romantiques in Paris, the Erbdrostenhof in Münster and the Freunde Alter Musik in Basel.
