Title: Thieriot String Trios on Naxos
Post by: Sharkkb8 on Saturday 01 June 2019, 03:24
Two string trios by Ferdinand Thieriot, played by the Lubotsky Trio, announced on Amazon (USA) for July 12 release.  The Amazon blurb is pasted below; it is presumably Naxos's own description, although oddly enough, I cannot find this album announcement anywhere on Naxos's website - nor anywhere else for that matter (although that may be only due to limited search skills).

And dare I mention.....the back cover of the Naxos album designates these as "world premiere recordings"?   ::) ;D ;)

In his vast compositional activity Ferdinand Thieriot manifested himself first and foremost as a worthy representative of the German Romantic movement. The well-known music theorist and critic Hermann Kretzschmar definitively stated in 1895: His contribution to Romantic music is characterized by the way it unfolds simply and naturally, by its amicable elegance of mood, and in particular by the unsurpassed clarity of musical form and language. In 2004 the Amadeus Verlag published his two string trios for violin, viola and violoncello in D major and in A minor. Both works are full of the lyricism so characteristic of Thieriots writing, while also manifesting a refined precision of musical language, elegance of form and irreproachable taste. Undoubtedly the two string trios make a valuable addition to the international chamber repertoire. On this album, the works are interpreted by the successful Trio Lubotsky (Mark Lubotsky, Katarina Andreasson and Olga Dowbusch-Lubotsky).

Oh, excellent. That's very good news and I hope it's a harbinger of things to come.

I'm assuming this release features the great violinist, born 18th May 1931. Trust he can still get his fingers round this music in his late eighties...

This is absolutely gorgeous music - and also very resourceful and, at times, dramatic. Such variety in the writing for three string-players. Do get this lovely recording!

 Very cheap indeed, but no digital booklet included, which is a shame.

There's nothing of any substance about the music in it anyway. Hopeless.
