While only fourteen years separate the Zemlinsky and Korngold piano trios, written in 1896 and 1919 respectively, the contrast couldn't be more striking. Where Zemlinsky's work, which he wrote at the age of 22, still bears the influence of Brahms (putting it lightly), Korngold's work, written while the composer was 13, has its eyes fixed firmly on the future, or at least on the most coruscating parts of the present day: Strauss or Mahler, and even early Schönberg. The filiation between Zemlinsky and his disciple Korngold seems barely perceptible and the fourteen years between them seem like a huge gulf. These two fascinating works are presented by the Stefan Zweig Trio (founded 2012), an ensemble every bit as Viennese as the composers it showcases here. © SM/Qobuz
