Schlippenbach Trio - Features

2015 CD release.

The trio's magic chemistry is founded on years of working together, both on intuitive listening and interaction – the ability to respond in an instant – andon the match between their characters, each adding to the whole as well as challenging each other – a stroke of fortune. Alexander von Schlippenbach likes to talk about the 'impetus of music making'. Impetus means drive, initiative, force, momentum, temperament. Three 'travelling fellows' on a Winterreise. The motto is: never stay still, keep refining the music, working on the details, the current, the inner strength, so that the result is the greatest joy and clarity possible.
