ECHO Rising Stars Festival / Amelia Trio / Trios from Two Continents
Charles Ives, the father of American classical music, was an experimental composer. His music is full of fresh ideas and surprising solutions, yet it follows no single consistent method. He was fond of drawing on popular and traditional music. In the Trio for violin, cello and piano, songs appear as direct quotations, only to become moments later the threads of a complex narrative, beautiful in its freedom. In Birke Bertelsmeier’s work, Ives’ composition enters into dialogue with Beethoven’s delightful Allegretto, becoming its contemporary echo.
The relationship between Beethoven and Archduke Rudolf of Austria, Archbishop of Olomouc, was both close and long-lasting. The composer first taught the young aristocrat the piano, and Rudolf later became one of his most important patrons. It was for him that Beethoven composed the Missa solemnis, the ‘Hammerklavier’Sonata and the Piano Trio, Op. 97, one of the masterpieces of the genre.
