What’s in a name? Trio Isimsiz’s name comes from the Turkish for ‘without name’ or ‘anonymous’. In other words, for Trio Isimsiz it is all about the music.
Pianist Erdem Mısırlıoğlu, violinist Pablo Hernán Benedí and cellist Edvard Pogossian met at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 2008 and built their craft at festivals from Aldeburgh to Trondheim, and in masterclasses with András Schiff, Steven Isserlis, the Gould Piano Trio and the Takács Quartet. They’ve toured China and Argentina and given recitals at Tivoli Concert Hall, Snape Maltings, Fundacióon Juan March in Madrid and the Marianischer -Saal in Lucerne.
Three outstanding musicians, three individual voices, one ensemble.
Trio Isimsiz will perform two giants of the piano trio repertoire. Schubert’s Piano Trio No. 1 is a chamber work built on a grand scale, which still maintains a miraculous intimacy and lightness of being. And according to the Trio’s cellist, Edvard Pogossian, Brahms’ Piano Trio is ‘the greatest piece of all time. It’s filled with passion, love, but also nostalgia, loneliness… Any human emotion you can think of is in this piece.’
Tucked in between these masterpieces is the Australian mainstage premiere of the Piano Trio by Francisco Coll, a Spanish composer hailed as a voice of the generation. Described by The Strad as ‘ear-beguiling and starkly inventive’, it was commissioned for Trio Isimsiz by the Borletti-Buitoni Trust, Centro Nacional de Difusión Musical in Madrid, and Britten Pears Arts for the Aldeburgh Festival.
‘To write a piano trio... has a historical connotation,’ Francisco said in the lead-up to the premiere in Snape Maltings, Suffolk. ‘I like to play with history.’
PROGRAM
BRAHMS Piano Trio in C minor, Op. 101
Francisco COLL Piano Trio

"A piano trio that already has that vital combination of unanimity of ensemble and musicianship, plus plenty of individual character and vitality."
