Is choosing Schumann for a first recording bold to the point of folly? Not if the choice corresponds to a genuine passion. Schumann was passion personified but also rapture and impetuosity. Nothing touched him more than the enthusiasm of young musicians and the ardent commitment of the young Trio Karénine, in their debut cd for Mirare, may well have won his approval.

Winner of the ARD international Competition in 2013 – at which the Trio Karénine was awarded top prize and several special prizes - the trio has chosen to bear the name of Tolstoy’s heroine for the vital impulse that she represents. The ensemble studied with charismatic chamber music artists, such as the Ysaÿe Quartet, Menahem Pressler, Jean-Claude Pennetier and the Trio Wanderer.
