Trio Anima Mundi continues its Piano Trio Archaeology in 2021 by reviving three piano trios of Carl Gottlieb Reissiger - part of TAM's ongoing The Reissiger Project. Alongside these works are trios by Beethoven, Rachmaninoff, Shostakovich, and the world premiere of Kenji Fujimura's second piano trio.

The Salieri Connection

​

Concert 2 presents the work of two composers whose careers were linked by a common figure - Antonio Salieri. Both Reissiger and Beethoven spent time under the tutelage of Salieri, a formidable figure in the Viennese music scene of  the time. We look at their earliest forays into the piano trio genre.
