Amy Beach:
Piano Trio in A minor, Op. 150

Natalie Klouda:
Piano Trio No. 1 'Fantasy Triptych'

Clara Schumann:
Piano Trio in G minor, Op. 17

On their second GENUIN release, the young, multi-award-winning Monte Piano Trio from Frankfurt turns their attention to three great women composers. And this is not all that’s remarkable about the production: Amy Beach, Natalie Klouda (in a work commissioned by the Monte Piano Trio), and Clara Schumann wrote the compositions during three completely different phases of their lives. But when we hear the ensemble’s rich and full-bodied sound on this CD, we have little thought about who wrote the music and who recorded it so flawlessly: the Romantic sonorities of all three works flow over us so limpidly and naturally that we only want to sit back and enjoy!
