Tchaikovsky Kissine Piano Trios
Kremer Gidon
Catalogue # ECM2202
\n
Two compositions bracketing the history of Russian chamber\nmusic. A revelatory account of Tchaikovsky’s piano trio op.50,\njuxtaposed with Victor Kissine’s “Zerkalo” of 2009, a work\ndedicated to performers Kremer, Dirvanauskaitė and Buniatishvili,\nand inspired by two lines from Anna Akhmatova: “The mirror dreams\nonly of the mirror / Silence watches over silence.” Issued on the\neve of a major tour with dates in both Europe and Japan, and with\nGeorgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili and Lithuanian cellist Giedrė\nDirvanauskaitė hailed as two of the most gifted players of their\ngeneration, this newest project from Gidon Kremer is certain to be\none of the events of the season.

Review
Phil Richards, Readings Carlton
recording is a dazzlingexample of the old andnew in Russian chambermusic. It starts with VictorKissine’s Zerkalo (TheMirror), a work that begins with a series ofdelicate notes on the piano and then slowlythe violin and cello work their way into thepiece. From here it builds beautifully and,like a lot of modern works, is not always aneasy listen, but if you persevere you will berewarded with something extraordinary.After that comes Tchaikovsky’s piano trio.Again this is music that will resonate longafter you have finished listening. Kremer,Dirvanauskaite and Buniatishvili play bothworks beautifully and you wouldn’t expectanything less from a Kremer recording.The ECM sound is perfect.
