“Glowing reports hold true. The Trio con Brio Copenhagen clearly occupies a lofty perch in
today’s musical scene.” – Washington Post
Acknowledged as one of the world’s finest piano trios in the world, the Trio con Brio Copenhagen are about to celebrate their twentieth anniversary. To mark the occasion, Orchid Classics will be releasing their multi-volume traversal of the complete Beethoven Piano Trios.
The Trio was born out of an idea of the coming together of ‘musical pairs’ – of the two Korean-born sisters, Soo-Kyung Hong (cello) and Soo-Jin Hong (violin), with Soo-Kyung and her husband, Danish pianist Jens Elvekjaer. They quickly gained a reputation for their fresh and contemporary approach to the core repertoire and won almost all of the major competitions for piano trio. Today they are regularly heard at the world’s leading venues and concert series, among them, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Wigmore Hall, Berlin Pierre Boulez-Saal, the Concertgebouw and many more.
Leading composers have dedicated works to the Trio, including Per Nørgård, Bent Sørensen’s and Sven-David Sandström. And reviews are fulsome. “One of the greatest performances of chamber music I’ve ever encountered,” praised American Record Guide. Gramophone wrote, “Superb...Any group would be hard-pressed to imitate this blend of verve and poise...” Their Mendelssohn album was chosen by the UK’s Classic FM as the Best Chamber Music Disc of the year.
