Brahms & Krenek: Piano Trios

This is the fifth album of the Feininger Trio, members of the Berlin Philharmonic orchestra – after a Dvo/Smetana album, Debussy/Ravel album – and now BRAHMS plus, a series planned on three CDs, highlighting the young composers following the Brahms times, along the Brahms Piano Trios. After Zemlinsky and Krongold, it is now the turn of Ernst Krenek. A 10-minute work in one sole movement such as this Trio-Fantasia by Ernst Krenek provides a welcome, fitting complement to an incredible masterpiece.
