About

Ensemble Epomeo make their commercial recording debut with the world premiere recordings of Hans Gál’s two works for string trio, coupled with Hans Krása’s Tanec and Passacaglia and Fugue.

Having released numerous world premiere recordings of Hans Gál’s symphonic and concertante works to critical acclaimed, Avie turns to the composer’s chamber music, specifically the two works he wrote for string trio.

The Austrian-born Gál and Czech-born Krása shared a Jewish heritage, but whereas Gál escaped Nazi oppression, Krása was interred in Theresienstadt where he was instrumental in organizing the cultural life of the concentration camp, then sent to Auschwitz where he perished in 1944. Tanec and Passacaglia and Fugue were written in the last year of his life.

Founded in 2008 on the slopes of Mount Epomeo at the Festivale di Musica da Camera d’Ischia in Italy, Ensemble Epomeo consists of three virtuosi dedicated to the expansion of the string trio repertoire and exciting, innovative and engaging approaches to performance. Ensemble Epomeo are quickly becoming a favourite at international music festivals on both sides of the Atlantic.

Ensemble Epomeo:
- Caroline Chin (violin)
- David Yang (viola)
- Kenneth Woods (cello)
