Trio Wanderer SCHUBERT Trio Op. 100 - The Trout Quintet

Two of Franz Schubert's favorite works are coupled here on a disc celebrating the 30th anniversary of Trio Wanderer. One of his last compositions, the Op.100 Piano Trio was among the few late works Schubert heard performed before his death. The Trout was composed when Schubert was 22, but was published posthumously. This release includes a 2017 harmonia mundi catalog.

The Wanderers are among the elite piano, violin and cello combinations, and these great works are signature pieces: they take their name from the Schubert song and these pieces are cornerstones of their repertoire [previously available separately].

"The Wanderers and their friends play both works with irresistible freshness and brio, making one listen afresh to the glories of Schubert." The Sunday Times [The Trout]

“This is a finely controlled, highly polished performance of the Trout, and the recorded sound is excellent, too… Altogether, the performance is most impressive in the way that its verve is matched with such a strong sense of integration and balance.” Gramophone, September 2003 [The Trout]

”If the playing weren’t so delicate, refined, intelligent and colourful it might have felt more than a bit one-sided. As it is Trio Wanderer convince that this is a fully valid view of Schubert, brilliantly and feelingly executed.” Chamber Choice, BBC Music Magazine, April 2008 [Trio]
