Smetana & Dvorak Piano Trios

Ivo Kahanek, Jan Fiser and Tomas Jamnik rank among the most distinct Czech musicians of their generation, both as soloists and chamber players. Under the name Trio Concertino, they started to perform under the guidance of Josef Chuchro and Ivan Klansky. In accordance with the ensemble's new name, their debut recording primarily focuses on Dvorak. The emotional apex of this CD is Smetana's Trio in G minor. The recording reveals the fundamental virtue of the young ensemble: A unique balance between spontaneous energy, performance experience and consistent well-considered delivery of the work. This trio is a chamber ensemble impossible to overlook.
