QUOTES
Trio Abstrakt is the answer to those who are hungry for sound that turns into the art of listening. They gather the legacy of the noblest chamber music to put it at the service of discovery.
[...] The idea for the work was born while listening to the exceptional individual and collective talents of the Abstrakt Trio in concert and from the memory of that Being who appeared to me through them - together but distinct - that I have always looked for in music.
[...] I think it depends on the fact that you are three soloists with a passionate experience, and with a broad interest. From here certainly comes your original discipline of considering every sound and every musical act as a unique and decisive instant, and managing to make it become with awareness, intelligence and sensitivity the essential part of a larger body, the piece. The same happens when you interpret music in a duo and, to the highest degree, in your Abstrakt Trio. Here a small miracle happens: it is no longer a question of 2 or 3 simple musical parts, but of parts of a single body, where each one acts, thanks to the richness that derives from what you have developed in your work as soloists, and together they interact as three living entities, without losing anything of their individual depth.
