About

Ensemble Epomeo follow their Gramophone Editor’s Choice recording of the string trios by Hans Gál and Hans Krása (AV2259), with works by Eastern European and Russian composers written in the latter half of the 20th century: Penderecki, Schnittke, Kurtág and Weinberg.

Each work bears a distinct personal compositional stamp, providing for captivating listening and enlightening contrasts: the Polish Penderecki’s dramatic and lyrical String Trio of 1990-91, the Russian compositional giant Schnittke’s String Trio of 1985, the haunting Trio of the increasingly recognised and respected Weinberg from 1950, and the ever-enigmatic Hungarian Kurtág, whose continuously evolving signs, games and messages represent a collection of highly individual miniatures.

Ensemble Epomeo: Diane Pascal (violin), David Yang (viola), Kenneth Woods (cello)
