Description
Joseph on the violin, Justine on the cello and Victor on the piano won the first prize of the International Joseph Haydn Competition in Vienna in 2017, one of the most prestigious awards they could ever get. The Trio Metral is indeed a young promising ensemble which is made up of siblings. Their energy and sensitivity are equally breathtaking. Concrete evidence of this talent is given in their first album in which they play Mendelssohn's Piano Trios. The dark atmosphere of those two works progresses towards a luminous vitality. A dramatic architecture that the three musicians act with an intensity that reflects an already strong artistic temper. Born in the imagination of a precocious composer, the programme perfectly fits the Trio Metral. A young ensemble to discover ... and to follow!
