According to the title page this is the ninth CD by the Gaede Trio. If the others are half as good as these ones then I've got some catching-up to do, I thought. Daniel Gaede, former leader of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, and his colleagues from Berlin explore the whole bandwidth of interpretation, from a sparkling Haydn through Beethoven in his most dramatic C Minor mood to the cafe kitsch of Fritz Kreisler. The Kreisler arrangements by Fredo Jung do far more than simply convey the piano part: this is a fully thought-out composition for string trio, with a welcome fullness of sound and unexpected accompanying parts.
