The Storioni Trio’s Performance

This is my opinion about The Storioni Trio when they performed in Indonesia in February 2009.
I was so impressed with the Storioni Trio’s performance at Erasmus Huis, Jl. H.R. Rasuna Said kav.S-3 Kuningan-Jakarta. They performed great music. They play with great intensity and feeling in the slow movements and are lighter and even often joyful in the fast movements. No wonder if hundreds of audiences at Erasmus Huis gave them big applause.

Biography

The Storioni Trio was founded in 1995 by Bart van de Roer (piano), Wouter Vossen (violin) and Marc Vossen (cello). The trio derives its name from the Laorentius Storioni violin from Cremona, which dates from 1794 and is played by Wouter Vossen. Marc Vossen plays a Giovanni Grancino cello from Milan, dating from 1700. In order to develop its ensemble-playing, the trio has worked over the years with great musicians such as Isaac Stern, Mstislav Rostropovich, Menahem Pressler, and Ralph Kirshbaum, as well as members of the Emerson Quartet and the Vermeer Quartet.

The Storioni Trio regularly performs at all major venues in the Netherlands, such as the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, the Doelen concert hall in Rotterdam, and the Muziekcentrum Vredenburg in Utrecht.

The trio is also highly active on an international level, giving concerts at the most important music centres in the world, such as the Weill Recital Hall (Carnegie Hall), the Frick Collection in New York, and the Wigmore Hall in London.

The Storioni Trio offers an expansive repertoire ranging from Haydn and Mozart via Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Ravel and Shostakovich, to exciting works by contemporary composers. Composer Kevin Volans wrote a triple concerto for the 10th anniversary of the Storioni Trio. The trio has received various prizes and awards, and performs regularly on radio and television.
