The Trio Laflamme highlights the work of Louise Farrenc, a major figure of French Romanticism who remains too rarely brought to the forefront. Through her two trios for flute, cello, and piano, the ensemble reveals the richness of a musical language that is both virtuosic, expressive, and deeply structured.

Performed on historical instruments, these works take on a distinctive dimension: the timbres interact with great subtlety, bringing out the delicate balance between the three voices. Between romantic intensity, lyrical depth, and rhythmic energy, Farrenc’s music unfolds with clarity and vitality.

Driven by the strong musical connection of the Trio Laflamme, this recording offers a sensitive and accessible rediscovery of a rare repertoire, at the crossroads of musicological rigor and pure listening pleasure.
