Take 3 is the third release in a deliberate series by violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja, clarinetist Reto Bieri, and pianist Polina Leschenko (Take 2 appeared almost a decade before the 2024 release of this album). All have had innovative programs, and anticipation for this release helped propel it onto classical best-seller charts in early 2024. Listeners will not be disappointed. The booklet notes contain some rather murky reflections from the players about the repertory included, but the basic idea is that most of the music reflects influences from roots traditions, jazz above all. Only one of the composers, Paul Schoenfield, is American, and his Trio for violin, clarinet, and piano draws not on jazz but on Eastern European Hasidic music. The works by Europeans show various ways of tentatively embracing jazz. Interspersed among the selections are movements from Poulenc's rarely heard L'invitation au château, which works well enough inasmuch as the work was written as incidental music from a play. Poulenc evokes the waltz and other European dance forms, but his Clarinet Sonata, written for jazz clarinetist Benny Goodman, has a stronger jazz flavor. So, too, does Bartók's trio Contrasts, also written for Goodman. This is the most distinctive performance on the album, as the players give it a rhythmically free treatment that is certainly jazzy but that diverges somewhat from the notated music. The three players have a remarkable rapport throughout, whether playing klezmer (in Serban Nichifor's closing Klezmer Dance) or in the divergent idioms of the other composers. The album both breaks new ground and is a lot of fun, and it is very nicely recorded at a Radio RSF studio in Zurich.
