This is a re-release of a recording from 2005: and even back then, Matt Haimovitz was enthusiastically exploring unusual repertoires, like these Preludes and Fugues by Bach, transcribed by Mozart in 1782. In fact, Mozart didn't only take pieces from the Well-tempered Clavier: he also borrowed fugues from The Art of the Fugue, with two sonatas for organ, and even something from Wilhelm Friedmann. As for the adagio preludes, four are by Mozart himself: only two are taken from the Cantor. This selection represents a kind of bridge connecting Bach and Mozart, as much in terms of form as content. The piece for string trio is wholly the work of the divine Wolfgang Amadeus: this piece isn't a transposition by any of our other three compères. Another 100% Mozart offering is the fantastic Divertimento KV 563 from 1788, the only work for string trio within this collection, aside from the explorations of Bach's catalogue. The E-flat major scale – the same as used on The Magic Flute – and the dedication to Mozart's fellow lodge-member Michael Puchberg (who was also a very generous friend, frequently rescuing Mozart from dire financial straits) make this piece a favourite among Freemasons. It includes a magisterial demonstration of how, even when limited to a string trio, Mozart could still conjure up a symphonic spirit and a tragic atmosphere, in particular in the heart-rending Adagio and the no-less moving minor variations on the Andante. The greatest of Mozart, achieved with strikingly scanty means. © SM/Qobuz
