  • Description

    On this, their electrifying debut album 'Portraits', the Belgian-Dutch Mosa Trio interprets three works: Shostakovitch's desolately intense tombeau for a friend (the Piano Trio No. 2 of 1944), Sam Wamper's scintilating Portrait of Light, written for his beloved (2015), and Mathias Coppens Trio opus 2 (2015), a versatile celebration of listeners and performers.

    The Mosa Trio (founded in 2010) pay a generous homage to the coloristic and expressive power of the modern piano trio. Thanks to their characteristic way of playing, "it's always a great pleasure for the audience to attend one of their concerts" (Vincent Coq, Trio Wanderer). The trio likes to challenge their audience by programming different, contrasting styles in one concert, so that the audience not only hears music they know and love, but also discovers new or unknown music.
