The LINOS PIANO TRIO, founded 2007, had a tremendously successful market entr�e with their debut album of CPE Bach complete Piano Trios. The new concept, STOLEN MUSIC, brings back the arrangement of major orchestral works for smaller ensembles. The Linos Piano Trio's own arrangements reflect a deep understanding of the complexity of the major scores.
STOLEN MUSIC will be the first recording of this ongoing project, compiling the highlights from the Linos Piano Trio's existing arrangements, paired with the inspiration for the trio's founding: Schonberg's Verklarte Nacht.
The Linos Piano Trio brings together the members' five nationalities and three musical voices into the single artistic vision of reinventing the repertoire. Pushing at the boundaries of the trio genre, Linos has, since its inception in 2007, championed hidden gems and created new trio transcriptions, alongside its fresh, personal and visceral performances of the core repertoire.
Praised for its slow-burning, gripping performance by The Strad, and virtuosity, presence of mind, and wit by S�ddeutsche Zeitung, the Linos Piano Trio's reputation has taken it to prestigious stages and festivals internationally. With its pioneering spirit, the trio recorded the first complete recording of C.P.E. Bach's Piano Trios (CAvi-music, 2020) which received several five-star reviews from across the European press.
As well as the high-voltage performances of the Dukas and Ravel, this enterprising recital features a sensuous and deeply felt account of Debussy's Prelude a l'Apres-midi d'un faune and a compelling performance of Steuermann's arrangement of Schoenberg's Verklarte Nacht, notable both for its impeccable balance between the piano and solo strings and its totally convincing handling of Richard Dehmel's tortured dramatic narrative. � Performance 5 STARS, Recording 5 STARS, Erik Levi, BBC Music Magazine, November, '21.
