Notes & Reviews:
Organist, composer, author, critic, teacher - Charles-Marie Widor was a man of many talents and extremely successful in all of these endeavors throughout his life. His organ works, especially the magnificently virtuosic toccata from the fifth sonata continue to enjoy the greatest popularity.
On their latest release the musical discoverers of the Trio Parnassus introduce us to the superb quality of his chamber music, which today is almost entirely forgotten.
The young Widor's perfect intuition for the taste of his times opened the doors of the Parisian salons to him. The piano trio, his first published chamber composition, enables us to relive the enthusiasm of his late-nineteenth century public even today.
The Trio Parnassus is always ready to surprise us with unexpected discoveries. After Chausson, Godard, and Boëllmann, this is now the ensemble's fourth excursion into a practically unknown France, and with their powerful and virtuosic playing the three full-blooded musicians know what it takes to spread out before us fantastic new horizons "au goût français" far beyond any sort of musical tourism.
