For their twentieth anniversary, the Trio Chausson offer themselves two trios by two the most famous siblings in the history of classical music, Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn. The recording opens with Fanny’s work, a choice that aims to shed light on the great romantic composer’s influence upon her brother’s work. Indeed she advised and guided Felix for a long , yet always in the shadow. With the present recording, justice has been served for the greatest pleasure of music-lovers’ ears.
