Il Trio Reinecke, composto da Bernardo Bertamini (clarinetto), Elena Lorenzoni (viola) e Samuele Masera (pianoforte) dedica il suo album di debutto alla musica di Carl Reinecke e Johan Amberg. Ogni volta che riusciamo a riscoprire della musica dal passato è una vera gioia! E se Reinecke è un compositore già noto, non possiamo dire lo stesso di Johan Amberg la cui musica è un sorprendente mix della tradizione musicale dell’Europa settentrionale con un grande pathos romantico e degli accenti popolari. I Fantasiestücke presentati in questo disco sono dedicati alla memoria di Robert Schumann e le tracce musicali e tematiche provenienti dal magico mondo di Schumann sono evidenti anche già leggendo i titoli dei diversi movimenti.

The Reinecke Trio composed by Bernardo Bertamini (Clarinet), Elena Lorenzoni (Viola) and Samuele Masera (Piano) dedicate its debut Album to the music of Reinecke and Amberg. Everytime that we can discover a “new” music coming from the past is a real joy! If Reinecke is a well known composer we can not say the same of Johan Amberg, surprisingly original in his compositions mixing the music of the north european music with a bit of popular roots and a big romantic mood. The Fantasiestücke presented in this recording is dedicated to the memory of Robert Schumann and the quotes and relationship with the fantastic world of Schumann are evident already in the title of the movements.
You can also find it on Spotify and Amazon Music!

A wonderful review of our CD Nordic Sunrise in the German magazine Fono Forum!
“From the very first moment, the listener is drawn in by this CD: the technical choices clearly aim to enhance the natural quality of the sound, making the intimacy of the recording venue a central element of the production.
The three chamber music works by Carl Reinecke are not presented with the kind of flawless refinement often associated with established performers, but rather with a freshness and honesty that win the listener over – qualities that make these young musicians, all still in training, particularly compelling.
They approach the challenging Clarinet Trio with courage, embracing considerable interpretative risks from which they emerge largely unscathed.
Instead of the better-known Introduction and Allegro appassionato, Op. 256, for clarinet and piano, the CD closes with a true gem: four intense Fantasiestücke for clarinet trio by the Danish composer Johan Amberg, written in 1910 – the very year of Reinecke’s death.”
Another beautiful review of our CD in the Spanish magazine Scherzo!
"The Trio Reinecke, made up of three young musicians from Trento, takes its name in homage to Carl Reinecke, whose final work performed in public by the composer himself - written when he was nearly eighty - was none other than the piece that opens this disc: the superb Trio for Clarinet, Viola and Piano, Op. 264. This is followed by two Fantasiestücke: one for viola and piano and one for clarinet and piano, both by the same composer. Both works date from much earlier, to the 1840s, and clearly reveal Robert Schumann and, above all, Felix Mendelssohn as not-so-hidden models. Reinecke could vie with Strauss or Rachmaninov for the title of the last Romantic, since he not only knew both Schumann and Mendelssohn personally, but also kept their flame alive by resisting exaggerated chromaticism and the excesses of the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth. The programme concludes with the most curious and perhaps most fascinating work of all: another Fantasiestücke, this time for the full trio, by a far lesser-known composer, the Danish Johan Amberg. This too is a work indebted to early Romanticism, though here it looks even further back: its first movement is explicitly dedicated to the memory of Robert Schumann. Interestingly, Amberg’s work dates from 1910, the same year as Reinecke’s death.
The ensemble passes the test of its debut album with flying colours, standing out at every moment for its clear, pure, crystalline sound. The blend of timbres is remarkable, and the delicacy conveyed by the three musicians is perfectly suited to works that are as immediately appealing to the ear as they are masterly within their genre."
