Following the successful first release featuring symphonic works by Robert Radecke (8455669), the Swiss Trio Fontane ensemble now turns to chamber music by this composer. His mastery as an instrumentalist is reflected especially in the brilliant piano part of the Trio in B minor, which is dedicated to Anton Rubinstein. This work and Radecke’s two piano trios, about whose circumstances of composition and reception hardly anything is known, are being presented in recording premieres on this CD. Along with the Fantasy Pieces op. 7, this means that almost all of the composer’s published chamber compositions, that is, three of his total of four such works of this genre, have now been recorded. This beautiful romantic music displays Radecke’s independent talent coupled with consummate compositional artistry and a fine feel for formal perfection.
