Title: Bargiel Piano Trios Nos.1 & 2 (Hyperion)
Post by: Alan Howe on Tuesday 16 November 2021, 18:18
I spotted this forthcoming release in the small print on Hyperion's advertisement in the current issue of Gramophone magazine. Of course, all three of Bargiel's Piano Trios have previously been recorded on MDG (they're still listed on the label's website, but I'm not sure about availability); neverthless, an enterprising release, with (presumably) a follow-up to come featuring No.3.

Trio Parnassus will be hard to beat, in my view, so I'll be interested to hear the verdict on this new recording.

Agreed. This won't be for me, but with the MDG CDs possibly being hard to find, this may be a welcome release.

Following is the conclusion of the review in May's BBC Music Magazine:

This is music that by its very nature requires gentle coaxing and affectionate warmth to sound its best, and the
Leonore responds with playing that possesses a radiant inner glow. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine this music played more captivatingly, captured in beguilingly natural sound by Andrew Keener and David Hinitt.
