EDUARD FRANCK (1817-1893): Piano Trios in E, in E Flat, Op. 22 and in D, Op. 53.

Description: The companion the October 2009 release of Franck's other two piano trios (10L049) finally appears. You know by now, this being the tenth release devoted by Audite exclusively to this composer and the eleventh overall (Naxos got into the act last January - 01O026), the Eduard never veered from the Mendelssohn/ Schumann path no matter how youthful or late the composition and these three continue that tradition from the early, unpublished 1835 trio possibly begun while he was studying under Mendelssohn, to the Op. 53 whose manuscript is dated 1886. 74 minutes of rich Romantic melodic confection. Swiss Piano Trio.
