Info for Gypsy

Antonín Dvořák, Josef Suk and Bohuslav Martinů. Three big names in the world of clas- sical music, three generations of Czech composers, from romanticism to modernism. But also three masterpieces lesser known to the larger audiences. Besides the most played repertoire for a piano trio, we see it as a challenge to try and find works that are played less o en in public. This is how the program grew for this album full of Bohemian colours, to which we added the famous ‘Gypsy’ trio by Haydn as a precursor from the classical period. We hope you can enjoy it as much while listening as we did during the recordings.

Impression
The emerging Belgian piano trio Impression, winner of all three prizes at the international ‘Storioni Toonzaal Prijs’ 2015 (NL), is made up off the sisters Fien and Riet Van den Fonteyne (violin & violoncello) and pianist Florestan Bataillie. These passionate musicians got to know each other at the international chamber music festival ‘Musica Mundi’. The trio was initially formed as a part of their studies at the Royal Conservatories of Antwerp and Brussels, but it quickly evolved outside the school walls to an appreciated ensemble. They have performed at Flagey, Bozar, Flemish Opera Ghent, Royal Conservatory of Brussels, deSingel, Casa da Musica in Porto, the Concertgebouw of Amsterdam, Muziekgebouw Frits Phillips in Eindhoven ...
