Brahms and romantic chamber music with piano, violin, and horn by three top soloists.
intimate – virtuoso – refined – historical – warm
How did Brahms want his music to be performed? In The Magic Three you get the chance to really hear it. Three top soloists, Edoardo Torbianelli, Midori Seiler, and Pierre-Antoine Tremblay, bring music by Clara Schumann, Carl Reinecke, and Johannes Brahms in a performance that feels surprisingly fresh, direct, and lively. They play on instruments and in a style that closely match the nineteenth century, which suddenly gives well-known music new colors.
The eye-catcher of the evening is Brahms’ famous trio for piano, violin, and horn, with the special sound of the natural horn as an absolute added value. In addition, Clara Schumann and Carl Reinecke show how rich, elegant, and varied this musical world was. Extra fascinating: you also hear the difference between natural horn and valve horn, and discover how strongly sound changes our experience.
The Magic Three is not a concert for connoisseurs only, but an invitation to everyone who wants to be surprised by beauty, character, and an exceptional listening experience.
