Following the highly acclaimed SACD of Robert Schumann s first two Piano Trios, Opp. 63 and 80, Audite now release a new disc with the Swiss Piano Trio, comprising Schumann s Fantasiestücke, the third Piano Trio, alongside Clara Schumann s only Piano Trio Op. 17, which has been unjustly overshadowed by her husband s works. Juxtaposing these works reveals the differences, but principally the similarities, of the musical idioms of Mr and Mrs Schumann. Clara s trio, composed in 1846, is an outstanding romantic work able to hold its own in the company of her husband s or Mendelssohn s trios. Whilst her work achieved public success but fell victim to the composer s harsh self-criticism, the reverse was true of Schumann s final trio, written in Düsseldorf in 1851. The unjustified verdict that this work no longer possessed the originality and mental power of Schumann s earlier works but already revealed the composer s looming illness, was responsible for this masterpiece of chamber music literature remaining unrecognised for a long period of time.
