Artturi Rönkä: Trio - premiere

Ernő Dohnányi is apt to be the greatest composer you have never heard.
He is celebrated as the "greatest" Hungarian "musician" after Franz Liszt,
great because his musicianship encompassed his diversity of profound gifts
as an epic concert pianist, tireless conductor, superb composer,
educator, administrator and ambassador that essentially encapsulated
the entirety of Hungarian classical music culture for decades leading up to WWII.

Mendelssohn composed his glorious Octet for strings in 1825
when he was merely 16 years old. Conrad Wilson summarizes,
"Its youthful verve, brilliance and perfection make it one of the
miracles of nineteenth-century music."
