On their new GENUIN release, the internationally award-winning flutist Atsuko Koga and her fellow musicians Georgiy Lomakov (cello) and Radoslaw Kurek (piano) bring together music by Ludwig van Beethoven, Gabriel FaurÃ©, and Charles Martin Loeffler. The trio's airy, free sound with it's unusual combination of instruments is a perfect match for the three works, which represent the piano trio genre in completely different ways: Beethoven's Gassenhauer Trio as an amusing and witty play on stereotypes of it's time, FaurÃ©'s late work as a detached and intimate meditation, and finally Loeffler's misty impressionistic poems - an absolute discovery!
