Musique de chambre

Description

And in our ambitious Louise Farrenc edition, we can now present more chamber music (two trios, variations, and a piano sonata), for which the Linos Ensemble has provided exceptional services. Two other CDs featuring Farrenc's sextet and piano trios have already been released with the ensemble. As in all her chamber works, the piano part is very demanding and also reflects the composer's pianistic skills. The trios are once again full of energy, dynamics, and surprising, original, and spirited details. In the Trio op. 45, the violin is joined by the flute. The modified instrumentation reflects Farrenc's compositional maturity: compared to the first two trios, the piano part seems more transparent in favor of the flute, and the flute part itself shows a completely idiomatic treatment of the wind instrument, with its virtuosity and agility highlighted just as much as its melodic and vocal qualities.
