Nostalgia

Following up on its debut CD with Gramola with works of Viennese classical era, the Haydn Chamber Ensemble now dedicates this release to piano trios from the period of late romanticism. Cornelia Löscher, Luca Monti and Hannes Gradwohl present emotionally charged works from Buenos Aires to Moscow under the title "Nostalgia". The first piano trios by Sergej Rachmaninoff and Dmitri Shostakovich are considered juvenile works, and both only found their way into the official canon of their composers posthumously. "Las Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas" by the Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla, on the other hand, is a collection of tangos that were composed between 1965 and 1970, at the height of his oeuvre, and were combined by the composer as a suite. The arrangement for piano trio was done by his friend, tango-cellist José Bragato, who also arranged the milonga "Oblivion" for this cast.



Haydn Chamber Ensemble

The Haydn Chamber Ensemble was founded as a classical piano trio on the initiative of cellist Hannes Gradwohl together with violinist Cornelia Löscher and pianist Luca Monti in 2013 and is based in Eisenstadt and Vienna. Committed to its name the Haydn Chamber Ensemble focuses on the oeuvre of Joseph Haydn and his contemporaries.
In order to exploit the full spectrum of chamber music, the Haydn Chamber Ensemble invites musician-friends to complete the ensemble.
Another emphasis of the ensemble lies in commissioning and performing contemporary music. The Ensemble pursues the intensive collaboration with well renowned or rising composers. 
The Haydn Chamber Ensemble designed its own chamber music cycle from 2014 to 2017 at the Haydn Festival Eisenstadt, where a new work dedicated to the trio was premiered in each concert.
