Dvorak’s Circle on SACD

The Hermitage Piano Trio amazes again! Reference Recordings is pleased to announce Dvorak's Circle, our third album with this elite trio. The Hermitage Piano Trio consists of violinist Misha Keylin, cellist Sergey Antonov, and pianist Ilya Kazantsev. In Dvorak's Circle, the trio brings together the musical and personal connections between Antonin Dvorak (1841-1904) and two composers he taught, mentored and who became family: Josef Suk (1874-1935) and Rudolf Friml (1879-1972). Since the founding of the Hermitage Piano Trio, Dvorak's Piano Trio No.3 in F minor, Op.65 has been among their favorite works to perform. In selecting the companion composers and their complete piano trio works they wanted to showcase the creativity, connectivity, and diversity of teacher and pupils. Their intersection, musically and personally, provide a musical portrait of three gifted individuals who explored and developed their talents as a result of the essential influence of one of the greatest composers of all time. The album was produced by GRAMMY® winners Victor and Marina Ledin. It was recorded in April 2023 by RR's own GRAMMY® winning and multi-nominated engineering team of Sean Royce Martin and Keith O. Johnson, at Skywalker Sound in Marin County, California.
