Oliver Triendl Delivers With Karl Weigl Piano Concerto
Oliver Triendl performs to his usual high standards. His gestures are, well, big and bold.
Concerti Fine Introductions to Radu Paladi
This release was my introduction to the music of Radu Paladi. Now I want to hear more.
Ferdinand Hiller Chamber Works Rescued from Obscurity
Pianist Oliver Trindl is in top form. A good thing, because piano virtuoso Hiller wrote some challenging piano parts. The Minguet Quartett has a seamless ensemble blend. And their collaboration with Trindl is flawless.
Carl Fruhling Chamber Music Brought to Light
Highly recommended for the beauty of the music, and the quality of the performances.
Boris Papandopulo: Works for Piano and Strings -- Works for Me
A thoroughly enjoyable collection of music!
Josef Labor chamber works of exceptional beauty
The real standout for me, though, was the Theme and Variations for horn and piano. The theme was absolutely gorgeous, especially played by Premysl Vojta.
Rontgen Piano Concertos - originality in traditional forms
Pianist Oliver Triend plays with enthusiasm. Röntgen loved to perform, and Triendl conveys that feeling effectively. Plus he has the chops to handle all of Röntgen's technical challenges.
David Monrad Johansen - Norwegian treasure
Pianist Oliver Triendl plays Johansen’s concerto with confidence and feeling. The runs sound flawless, and his phrasing shapes the melodies into beautiful forms.
