The renowned Hamburg Trio journeys into the night on its new GENUIN CD with works by Arnold Schönberg, Franz Schubert and Alexander von Zemlinsky. The ensemble featuring the musicians Mitsuru Shiogai (violin), Ulrich Horn (cello) and Eberhard Hasenfratz (piano) is distinguished by its unique sound, not least because the two string instruments come from the same skilled hand: the violin maker Giovanni Gagliano from the end of the 18th century. The two framing works on the CD approach the theme of "night" from different angles: Schoenberg's Transfigured Night is a passionate, late-Romantic narrative, while Schubert's Notturno is a moment of early-Romantic eternity. In between is the rarely heard but rewarding trio by Zemlinsky – chromatic, grounded and polished perfection.

"The Hamburg Trio performs with great seriousness and objectivity, a clear, distinct dynamic that fits well with the austere spirit of these works at the transition from the 19th to the 20th century." Review by Hans-Jürgen Schaal, 11-2023 issue

"The calmness with which the Hamburg Trio approaches Schubert's "Notturno" is fascinating! They succeed in maintaining the tension in this gently flowing tempo." Review by Elisabeth Richter in September 2023 issue
