Info for Music by Students of Anton Bruckner

In contrast to their teacher, several of Anton Bruckner's pupils devoted themselves to composing chamber music with great passion, as the three piano trios recorded here for the first time testify. Paul Caro, a native of Breslau, studied with Bruckner from 1880 to 1885, to whom he gave the printed edition of his Piano Trio in E major, op. 8 in September 1886. Linz-born Mathilde Kralik von Meyrswalden, who was Bruckner's private pupil from 1875 onwards, achieved one of her first great successes with her Piano Trio in F major, premiered in 1880. Franz Marschner, born in Leitmeritz in Bohemia and Bruckner's counterpoint pupil from 1883 to 1885, created an ambitious and masterful work of almost symphonic dimensions with his Piano Trio in C minor, op. 30, around 1902. The recordings, for which three young, already internationally sought-after musicians have joined forces to form the TONALi Trio, are complemented by Daniel Linton-France's world premiere recordings of two fascinating piano works by Bruckner's pupils Cyrill Hynais and Alfred Stroß, who studied at the Vienna Conservatory from 1876 and presumably took private lessons from Bruckner at the same time.

TONALi Trio
The TONALi cultural project, which won the ECHO Klassik award in 2017, was developed as an innovative education format in the field of classical music.

Pupils from three selected schools are trained by the Münchner Künstlerhaus in two workshops to organise both a school concert and a final concert at the Münchner Künstlerhaus. Basic knowledge of cultural management is taught in advance, moderation training takes place and responsibility is transferred. The project is brought to the stage of the Münchner Künstlerhaus in close co-operation with the top musicians mentioned above. After the final concert, all young cultural managers receive a certificate that can be used for future job applications.
