Trio Partout

Birgit Ramsl-Gaal, flûte
Johannes Flieder, allto
Gabriela Mossyrsch, harpe

The combination of flute, viola and harp instruments is one of the most unusual and delightful chamber music combinations, as the Trio Partout brilliantly proves with their CD "Play of Colors". Probably the first work in music history for this line-up was by ClaudeDebussy, who composed his "Sonate pour flûte, alto et harpe" in 1915 under the impact of the beginning of the First World War. Only a year later, the British composer Arnold Bax published his "Elegiac Trio", which acts as a kind of dream sequence through theostinato harp arpeggios and lyrical elements of viola and flute. Harald Genzmer is considered one of the key composers of German music after the Second World War, and in 1947 wrote the Trio for flute, viola and harp, whose impressionistic sound images seemingly refer to Debussy. The Austrian composer Johannes Maria Staud uses a variety of modern playing techniques in his work "Sydenham Music" from 2011.
