About

The composer Julius Röntgen (1855-1932) was born in Leipzig. His father was first violinist in the Gewandhaus Orchestra; his first piano teacher was Carl Reinecke, the director of the Gewandhaus Orchestra. In 1877 Röntgen went to Amsterdam and became a piano teacher in the Conservatory there. As a renowned accompanying pianist, Röntgen worked for the great violinist Carl Flesch and the cello player Pablo Casals. For a while these musicians even formed a piano trio with Röntgen.

After the highly acclaimed volume one of Piano Trios (ARS 38031), the Storioni Trio now presents Piano Trios Nos 2 and 4, written in 1894 and 1898.

The Storioni Trio, founded in 1995, has worked over the years with great musicians such as Isaac Stern, Mstislav Rostropovich and Menahem Pressler, as well as members of the Emerson Quartet and the Vermeer Quartet. The trio performs chamber music with artists such as Gidon Kremer, Dimitri Sitkovetsky, Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Rainer Kussmaul, Nobuko Imai and Emma Johnson. The Storioni Trio regularly give concerts at all major venues in the Netherlands, such as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, and at the most important music centres in the world, such as the Weill Recital Hall (Carnegie Hall) and the Wigmore Hall in London.
