About the album

In celebration of Mozart year, the 250th anniversary of his birth, we are pleased to present, 'Mozart Piano Trios'!

On this album, three of the six Mozart piano trios are featured along with one of the three separate trio movements which he left unfinished.

Teasing, flirtatious, tender, elusive, anguished, charming and magical are all words used by performer and classical specialist, Diana Ambache, to describe these three Mozart piano trios, written in his last three years

Veelzijdige en prachtige pianotrio’s van Mozart
Mozart componeerde veel kamermuziek, deels omdat hij ervan hield, en deels omdat hij geld wilde verdienen met de publicatie ervan. Het is misschien enigszins verrassend dat hij slechts zes pianotrio’s schreef. De pianotrio’s op dit album zijn afkomstig uit de laatste drie jaren van Mozarts leven. Ze zijn niet geschreven in een stijl die aansloot bij het publiek van amateurmusici waar hij zich tot richtte, en bevatten muziek van een technische en emotionele complexiteit die het niveau van de 18e-eeuwse amateur te boven gaat. Tegenwoordig worden de trio’s echter gewaardeerd om de ongekunsteldheid van de prachtige muziek, een van de belangrijkste kwaliteiten van Mozarts composities.

Het album, uitgebracht ter gelegenheid van het 250e geboortejaar van de componist, bevat naast drie van de zes pianotrio’s een van de drie losse delen voor pianotrio die Mozart niet voltooide. Plagend, flirterig, gevoelig, ongrijpbaar, gekweld, charmant en magisch zijn allen woorden waarmee musici en specialist op het gebied van het classicisme Diana Ambache deze drie pianotrio’s beschrijft.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose actual name is Joannes Chrysotomus Wolfgangus Theophilus Mozart, was a composer, pianist, violinist and conductor from the classical period, born in Salzburg. Mozart was a child prodigy. Already competent on keyboard and violin, he composed from the age of five and performed before European royalty. Along with Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven, Mozart is considered to be one of the most influential composers of all of music's history. Within the classical tradition, he was able to develop new musical concepts which left an everlasting impression on all the composers that came after him. Together with Joseph Haydn and Ludwig van Beethoven he is part of the First Viennese School. At 17, Mozart was engaged as a musician at the Salzburg court, but grew restless and traveled in search of a better position. From 1763 he traveled with his family through all of Europe for three years and from 1769 he traveled to Italy and France with his father Leopold after which he took residence in Paris. On July 3rd, 1778, his mother passed away and after a short stay in Munich with the Weber family, his father urged him to return to Salzburg, where he was once again hired by the Bishop. While visiting Vienna in 1781, he was dismissed from his Salzburg position. He chose to stay in the capital, where he achieved fame but little financial security. During his final years in Vienna, he composed many of his best-known symphonies, concertos, and operas, and portions of the Requiem, which was largely unfinished at the time of his death.
