Marie-Pierre Langlamet: Schubert
By Track review of "Franz Schubert: Piano Trio in B-flat Major"The recording contains several Schubert settings: lieder, violin sonatas, and a piano trio. The Piano Trio in B-Flat Major D. 28 offers Langlamet, St. John, and Berlin Philharmonic cellist Ludwig Quandt a music environment in which to perform, exist, as only Schubert could. Schubert stood at the foot of the Romantic period and indeed got a bit on his shoes. But much of the composer's music retained a bright classical sheen. St. John takes an almost Baroque approach to her playing, drawing as much from Vivaldi as any later violinist. Quandt provides the low string end of things, providing solid support and delicate filigree to the musings of the composer. It is Langlamet, whose superb transcription and articulation of the piece gives it a new life. This piece is one of the earliest compositions of Schubert, brimming with a sparkling classicism well played here.
