“there is no doubt that all three of NZTrio musicians are some of Aotearoa’s most fearsome classical music talents.”
Clare Martin, Classical Chromatics
Felix Mendelssohn | Trio in C minor Op. 66
Reuben Jelleyman / J.S. Bach | Büchlein Reimaginings (selections)
Jennifer Higdon | Piano Trio
Arno Babadjanian | Trio in F-Sharp minor
We begin with Mendelssohn’s emotionally charged and passionate ‘Trio in C minor Op. 66’, considered one of his finest chamber music works. Then NZ composer Reuben Jelleyman, known for his inventive melodies and harmonies, takes inspiration from Bach’s chorales in ‘Büchlein Reimaginings’. Our journey continues with Jennifer Higdon’s ‘Piano Trio’, evoking colours being spread on a canvas through the melodies, harmonies and instruments themselves. Next, we venture into the rich and passionate realm of Armenia with Arno Babadjanian’s ‘Trio in F-Sharp minor’, a compelling masterpiece that resonates with the soulful melodies and profound emotions of Armenian culture.

Featuring superb compositions by Christos Hatzis, Salina Fisher, Josef Suk and Erich Korngold, Merge is an amalgamation of NZTrio's individual musical personalities both on and off the stage, expressed through our shared love of chamber music. "We feel very lucky to be sharing our joyful, creative and collaborative experience of recording this album with you during this particularly bewildering time. As we all navigate this ever-changing world, constantly looking to the future and the past, we hope this music gives you a chance to appreciate some beauty in the present moment."
