Soup with piano trio

Bo-Gustaf Thorell has been a member of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra's first violin section for over 40 years. Now, he takes the stage and forms a trio together with his son Daniel Thorell and the orchestra's pianist Stefan Lindgren.

Johannes Brahms' first piano trio has almost symphonic proportions. After critical comments from Clara Schumann, Brahms' great and unfortunate love, this trio was almost consigned to the flames. Luckily, the self-critical Brahms revised the music instead, several decades after its first publication, and it is that version that we hear here.

Laura Netzel's (1839–1927) romantic music gained great attention during the 19th century, especially in France where she had studied under the famous Charles-Marie Widor. In the early 20th century, she was one of Sweden's most successful composers internationally and broke new ground with her piano concerto. Now, we hear her warmly lyrical and romantic Serenade for piano trio.
