OBERON TRIO
The Oberon Trio was founded in 2006 and has performed in many of Europe’s most prestigious concert halls, such as the Berlin Philharmonie, the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Amsterdam Concertgebouw, the Dortmund Konzerthaus, and the Essen Philharmonie. The group is a frequent guest at festivals such as the Mozartfest in Augsburg, the Ludwigsburg Festival, and the Herbstgold Festival.
“The Oberon Trio moves listeners with a combination of technical mastery and thrilling emotional intensity,” according to FonoForum, and the Gramophone says, “It’s a scintillating performance from start to finish.”
A special passion for the Oberon Trio is to establish greater intimacy between public and performers. Through moderated concerts, by publishing their own program-notes of the performed works, among other approaches, they provide listeners with insights into the processes and background of their interpretations.
Program
Clara Schumann: piano trio g-minor op.17
Clara Schumann's only chamber music work is also one of the best known of her entire oeuvre and was a great success with audiences and critics at its premiere in 1847 - even if they had to admit that they “had not expected this from a female composer” ...
Franz Schubert: piano trio e-flat major op.100
“The ultimate in Romantic chamber music” is this grandiose piano trio with its monumental length, which Schubert composed in 1828, the year of his death.
Ten years later, Robert Schumann recalled that it “swept over the musical hustle and bustle” of the time “like a wrathful apparition from heaven”.
