Heinrich von Herzogenberg’s search for selfhood finally came to fruition in his two Piano Trios. After highly promising successes in his native Graz with large-format works modelled on Wagner, the talented young composer experienced a creative and existential crisis from which he first recovered when he turned to Johannes Brahms.

The Vienna Piano Trio documents this artistic awakening with a top quality interpretation on SACD adding a new facet to the reception of Herzogenberg’s music after its sleeping beauty’s century of slumbering.

The Vienna Piano Trio dedicates itself without preconceived notions to this magnificent music. With their powerful performance style and youthfully fresh verve the three instrumentalists inspire standing ovations from their audiences.
