In this release IDIS presents to the audience an authentic rarity: the brilliant Brahms’ Third Symphony recorded at the Berlin Radio with the Berliner Philarmoniker in 1950. In this touching recording with a very high sound quality for that time, Knappertsbusch reveals himself a great performer and interpreter of Brahms music very far from that rhetoric that so many German performers used to give to this works which is instead , by its nature, the most intimist and reflexive among Brahms Symphonies. The Haydn Symphony no 94 in a very modern version ends the CD, also live recorded in 1950, where Knappertsbusch is against any concession to poor sense of humor and to the so called “ Vienna good temper” which for two centuries have characterized the interpretation of Brahms Symphonies.

Trio di Trieste was founded in 1933 when the members, Dario De Rosa, Renato Zanettovich, and Libero Lana, were only twelve years old. Later, Libero Lana was replaced by Amadeo Baldovino. Lana is heard on the Mozart recording, and Baldovino is heard on the Dvorak. The group has performed uninterrupted concert performances all across the world for more than sixty years- that’s more than 3,000 concerts. The Trio are members of the Roman Academy of St. Cecilia, and were awarded the prize of the President of the Italian Republic by the Grand Officer of Merit. They have regularly been invited to all of the major international festivals. This release focuses on radio recordings that the trio made in 1956 and 1964. The first work is Antonin Dvorak’s Trio in F minor for violin, cello and piano op. 65, followed by Mozart’s Trio in E major for violin, cello and piano.
