Info for Labor: Clarinet Trio & Cello Sonata No. 2
A total of around eighty compositions of Joseph Labor have survived. Among them are practically no occasional works, which is connected to the fact that he was blind: for him composition was a luxury, insofar as he had to rely on the help of a scribe who had to commit the work to paper. Labor’s music is very skillfully composed, always sensuous, and first and foremost melodious; it does not require a too complete concentration on itself. In Vienna, Labor was part of Johannes Brahms’s close circle of friends. This is already the third album release with this sensitive Chamber Music of an mostly forgotten composer.
Ensemble Tris
Ensemble Tris
To form an exciting yet harmonious unity out of three different instruments and three individual personalities: that is the art of chamber music. The “culinary” name of our ensemble already puts the focus on the extraordinary possibilities of this special instrumentation.
The repertoire of TRIS is also extraordinarily diverse and extensive. The three musicians like to break new ground away from conventional programmes. TRIS is known for its joy of discovery and, in addition to the famous “classics” such as Mozart, Beethoven and Brahms, enjoys bringing rarely played, overlooked and forgotten music to the concert stage.
An important part of the concert activity is therefore naturally devoted to the commitment to the many composers ostracised and persecuted under National Socialism. Here the ensemble has collected a unique repertoire of fantastic music of great stylistic range, for example by Vally and Karl Weigl, Leopold Spinner, Hans Gál, Joachim Stutschewsky, Hans Winterberg and many others. And contemporary music is also close to TRIS’ heart, the reference to the present always a central aspect. Renowned Austrian composers such as Wolfram Wagner and Alexander Wagendristel have dedicated compositions to TRIS, which are prominently represented in the concert programmes.
We love to share our pleasure in music with our audience: so far TRIS performed successfully in Europe, Turkey, Iran and Jordan.
