Schubert/Rihm: Works for Piano Trio

This album stems from the 12th International 'Franz Schubert and Modern Music' (FS&MM) Competition, held in February 2025 and organized by the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz. Trio Brontë won 1st prize in the Piano Trio category with the repertoire on this recording. The trio was founded in Berlin in 2022 and consists of German-Italian violinist Chiara Sannicandro, Bulgarian pianist Lili Bogdanova, and American cellist Annie Jacobs-Perkins. The trio grew up immersed in the passionate and turbulent novels of the Brontë sisters and named themselves after them, inspired by their passion for storytelling, their intelligence, and their sociability. On this album, they perform "Fremde Szenen III" by Wolfgang Rihm and Piano Trio No. 1 by Franz Schubert.
