First came “the french album”, then “the russian album”; now, the ATOS Trio is presenting “the czech album” with music by Dvorák and Smetana. Two trios composed amid profound human pain resulting from the loss of a beloved person.
The ATOS Trio (Anette – T(h)omas – Stefan) was founded in 2003. It has now become one of the very few German chamber-music ensembles to have made its way into major concert series worldwide. Its aim is to go to the very limits of expression and dynamics, without shying from extremes. Outstanding characteristics of the ensemble are its warm, homogeneous trio sound, its variety of approaches depending on the style and epoch of the music being played, and above all the artistic communication between the players and their complete dedication to the music. For the musicians in the trio, playing in the ensemble has complete priority over any other musical activities.
