TRIO 1790 has internalized the performance practices of the era, and play on instruments the music was written for. These trio sound light, transparent, and agile. If you think Mozart had a monopoly on that sound, listen to these works. Elegant music was in the air.

Breuninger playing Kreutzer seemed the perfect match. And after auditioning this recording, I believe it was. Kreutzer’s concertos (like many of the day) were written primarily to showcase the skill of the soloist — Rodolphe Kreutzer. What elevates these works is the lyricism of the melodies.
