3 trios plunge us into the Hungarian night. Strongly tinged with folk music and dance, we follow a nocturnal path with bewitching rhythms.
DOHNANYI
Serenade for string trio 20’
KODALY
Intermezzo for string trio 6’
LAJTHA
Transylvanian Nights op.41 35’
Homogénéité sonore, intonation parfaite, limpidité du jeu polyphonique et acuité rythmique nourrissent une lecture toujours éloquente (…) les Arnold dominent le reste de la discographie.
Arnold Trio
Shuichi Okada, violin
Manuel Vioque-Judde, viola
Bumjun Kim, cello
László Lajtha (1892-1963)
Transylvian Nigths, Op. 41
Zoltán Kodály (1882-1967)
Intermezzo for String Trio
Ernst von Dohnányi (1877-1960)
Serenade for string trio, Op. 10
Under the sign of the night and its charms, the young Trio Arnold, already multi-awarded, pays tribute to Hungarian string trio music of the early 20th century. A rare work by Lajtha, a pupil and friend of Bartók, Transylvanian Evenings evokes in reinvented folklore ‘the course of the seasons in the mountains and meadows of ancient Transylvania’. An Intermezzo by Kodály, followed by Dohnányi's sparkling Serenade, close the journey with a bewitching whiff of the Austro-Hungarian Belle Epoque.
