Koga/Lomakov/Kurek - Confluences - Flute, Cello and Piano: Works by Ludwig van Beethoven, Gabriel Faur? and Charles Martin Loeffler

On their new GENUIN CD, the internationally award-winning flutist Atsuko Koga and her fellow musicians Georgiy Lomakov (cello) and Radoslaw Kurek (piano) bring together music by Ludwig van Beethoven, Gabriel Faur�, and Charles Martin Loeffler. The trio's airy, free sound with its unusual combination of instruments is a perfect match for the three works, which represent the piano trio genre in completely different ways: Beethoven's Gassenhauer Trio as an amusing and witty play on stereotypes of its time, Faur�'s late work as a detached and intimate meditation, and finally Loeffler's misty impressionistic poems.
