Schumann Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor
Tigran Mansurian Five Bagatelles for piano trio
Schumann Piano Trio No. 3 in G minor
Open to all kinds of new music drawn from jazz, European folk forms and contemporary classical ideas, NCH celebrates the trailblazing independent German label, ECM.
Anna Gourari is one of the most outstanding pianists of her generation. Her playing has been described as “technically perfect” and “dazzling”, an “almost perfect blend of fiery attack and poetic magic” combined with “pure intellectual freedom”.
Since 2011 she has recorded four albums for ECM Records, the most recent one with works by Paul Hindemith and Alfred Schnittke, receiving the International Classical Music Award. Her partners are solo cellist of the Amsterdam Concertgebouw Orchestra, Tatjana Vassiljeva and the ex-concertmaster of the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, Yamei Yu.
