music as their mother tongue - Trio Jean Paul at the Rheingau Music Festival

Faster, higher, further, that is, currently, the standards by which to run in Berlin the athletes to race, jump or throw. In the music business, it is often very similar. The more skillful, the superior in the art, the greater the prospect of full concert halls and lucrative recording contracts. It sometimes gets the musical content in the background, are required and supplied power to the extreme. Seldom seen as such a sincere playing music ensemble such as the Trio Jean Paul, the now not occurred for the first time at the Rheingau Music Festival at Schloss Johannisberg.

Some people notice it on so that they attend the concert for the sake of a friend or supervisor, according to comments from falling between the pieces. Then, when erect, the hairs on their arms because a passage is particularly under the skin, that's a sign of the direct approach to the three musicians have succeeded. The violinist Ulf Schneider, cellist Martin Lohr and pianist Eckart Heiligers have found a way to explain the music to their mother tongue. Far from merely playing the notes, they are with looks and body position close to the sounds, become one with the composition.

It is a calm virtuosity that comes into play here is music to its own sake. This is achieved by the noble passages in the piano trio in A major (Hob XV: 18) and D minor (Hob XV: 23) by Joseph Haydn just as vivid and immediate as in the atmospheric density passages of the Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Op 49 and No 2 in C minor, Op 66 by Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy. The works of the jubilee, the one born before 200, the other died the same year, blow this evening not pass over the heads of the audience but are almost made a physical experience, an intensive.

The airiness of the game can forget the heat in the room. Formulations charming, flirtatious delays and a cultured tone constantly pull in thrall. Merry Shriek with delight at a brisk rate Haydn are appealing contrast to feather-light movement with maximum phonetic substance in an Andante. The Trio Jean Paul delivers the extraordinary precision with ease in the interaction, the Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's rich demand scores, with phrasing courageous go to the musician a joyful insistence. If you experience this form of creative enthusiasm, it is hard to believe that the ensemble has performed for 18 years and each time anew such a dedicated individual interpretation.
