Combining the talents of three award-winning soloists, the Weiss-Kaplan-Newman Trio was hailed by The New York Times as "Three strong voices, locked in sequence". The Weiss-Kaplan-Newman Trio was founded in 2001 (originally as Sequenza Trio), and has presented concerts throughout the US, Europe and the Middle East, with appearances at The Kennedy Center, Wigmore Hall, Princeton, UCLA, Indiana and Oxford Universities, Tel-Aviv Museum, and for the Chamber Music Societies of Edinburgh, Santander among numerous others. The Trio is known for its performances of Beethoven's complete cycle of works for Piano Trio, as well as for their commitment to new compositions. This CD of Brahms and Smetana trios is the Weiss-Kaplan-Newman Trio's first full recording for Bridge Records. Previously, Bridge issued the Trio's recording of Paul Chihara's "Ain't No Sunshine" (BRIDGE 9267). "The Weiss–Kaplan–Newman Trio presents a powerful account of Brahms’s First Piano Trio, one where the choice of tempos in the outer movements gives an ideal sense of creative spontaneity" - The Strad
Reviews:
“This is absolutely one fabulous chamber music recording you cannot afford to be without. Urgently recommended.” - Fanfare
“The pieces share a sweeping Romanticism that the members of the Weiss-Kaplan-Newman Trio set forth to splendid effect. The Brahms receives a performance full of warmth and vitality, as does the Smetana trio.” - Cleveland.com (Grade: A)
