This recording is the first by Trio Dali with Jack Liebeck, the ensemble’s new violinist. • After a Ravel program in 2009 followed by a disc devoted to Schubert, the Trio turns its talents to Felix Mendelssohn’s two trios, the popular op. 49 in D minor (1839), a work Robert Schumann dubbed ‘the modern masterpiece in the trio genre’, the tragedy-to-triumph characterized C minor op. 66, and two Bach transcriptions. • The Trio Dali has thus chosen to contrast Mendelssohn’s two trios with works by a composer for whose rediscovery Mendelssohn was largely responsible in his time: J.S. Bach.

In these three recordings Imbert leads US into a rich and dazzling universe where memory and creation are closely interconnected. In his words, "I believe that a musician needs memory to be able to play, to create the memory that the musician uses to spark off his artistic process is primordial for the relevance and the profundity of what he has to say."

One feels a very special emotion listening to the [violin] when it is not accompanied by others, which often adds to the emotion produced by the music itself. Though limited in size, this repertoire has no lack of masterpieces to offer, from Bach to Bartok, by way of Paganini, Ysaye and Scarlatti. -Tedi Papavrami.
