CARL LOEWE (1796-1869): Piano Trio, Op. 12 “Grand Trio”, Schottische Bilder for Clarinet and Piano, Op. 112, Duo Espagnôla for Viola and Piano.

Description: The 1821 piano trio was a great success in its time, praised by Schumann among others after its 1830 publication but rarely performed later since its printed version was error-riddled. The short couplings attest again to the interest in Romantic Germany of music evoking “exotic” lands. Henning Lucius (piano), Marietta Kratz (violin), Jakob Christoph Kuchenbuch (cello), Christian Seibold (clarinet), Lena Eckels (viola).
