The Eggner Trio presented themselves in the best light during the concert of the Musikverein Graz. The very homogeneity with which the three Eggner brothers interpreted the rustling opening movement of Schumann's Trio No. 1 would have been enough for holding eulogies, though that was not all. The Trio performed Schubert's "Notturno" exemplarily. One seldom hears this piece with such a precise, unsentimental vicariousness of the string melody. In Shostakovich's Trio No. 2 the musicians strongly emphasised the piece's elegiac character.

Brilliantly the three brothers are performing in particular the Piano Trio op.67 by Shostakovich. They emphasize on the control of the intrinsic emotional energies. They don't get rushed by the eruptions or the lyrical-dolorous string passages - which even amplifies the effect of the work, because all nuances are being made transparent. Iván Eröds Piano Trio op. 21 released on CD for the first time, fits strikingly to the sound language of the Russian composer. And here as well, the young brothers interpret the work impressively aptly. A truly outstanding recording. Bravo!

They match their playing in every last detail. Not, however, in a mechanical way, but with the joyful confidence that comes of deep familiarity with each other. It will surprise nobody who's seen them if they achieve the same renown as the Guarneri and Beaux Arts Trios.

The explosive start to op. 70 no. 1 sets the tone for the Eggner's intense, dramatic and strikingly detailed reading, combining first-class individual contributions with impeccable ensemble und unanimity of interpretative approach. The clarity of pianist Christoph's articulation is especially remarkable, as are also the colourful lyricism, warm tone and persuasive phrasing of this brothers' playing. All three combine to achieve that aura of timelessness that characterises the expressive central movement. The trio's playing is unfailingly perceptive throughout, spawning new musical insights and a wide range of contrasting emotions.

The annals of Musica Viva are threaded through with legendary concerts and this performance of Shostakovich's Piano Trio No. 2 in E minor by the Eggner brothers should be added to them. Florian Eggner, the cellist, played the opening harmonics in almost a matter of-fact way, defying their fragile difficulty and creating a seamless path from the ethereal coolness they convey to the coarse banality that follows, and which erupts so brutally in the finale. In the second movement the violinist, Georg, captured a new sound, mixing a sense of overconfident brilliance and brittleness with a growing hint of menace. In the third-movement passacaglia, the pianist, Christoph, voiced the tolling opening chords with a mixture of hardness and striking clarity, like an image where you feel you perceive all the component parts at a single glance. In the last movement, they goaded each other to produce a terrible march of cataclysmic wildness and force. This was a rare chance to hear three artists of supreme musicianship spare themselves nothing in the realisation of a terrible beauty, and the impact was shattering.

Their playing was always on the extreme edge of dramatic intensity, strongly contrasted, highly rhythmical with brilliant clarity of line. Each climax was quite breath-taking, yet clearly contrasted in the many extremely soft passages, with elegant and very lyrical playing that was just as memorable. A concert to treasure in the memory!

The trios are tackled subtly structured, with a marvellous sound balances between strings and piano. They create chamber music at a high level. The Eggner Trio plays the Beethoven Trios as they should be played. After this CD they ensemble can be considered as one of the great ones.

From the beginning the inspired ensemble emphasized the remarkable homogeneous interaction. As contrast to the homophone composed first movement of Haydn's Trio in E major the second movement is characterized by its fine polyphony.The trio performed with a very sensitive and sophisticated use of timbres, dynamic and agogic in Schubert's Trio E flat major and made the opulent piece to be diverting and fascinating.

It seems to be that one of the best pianotrios which are performing at the moment in Vienna is - without exaggeration – the Eggner Trio. It may depend on the professional comprehension of music of the three brothers or on the concentrated charge of passion of these three very different characters which breaks through from the stage to the last corner of the hall.
The homogeneous play of the three is enchanting. The cello carries both other parts, if it comes to prolonged tensions and animated depths, and while the violin affords light swinging movements, the piano provides with sensitive adaption the amalgamation of the three instruments. In the brotherhood of their forces rests the mastership of this trio.
