Celeia Institute Celje opened its subscription season at the Celje National Hall and hosted the Amadeus Trio from Vienna at the first concert.
They first presented music created in Vienna itself, performing the first of Beethoven’s three Piano Trios Op. 1. The strong, foundational four-movement work by the young Beethoven resounded with energetic vitality in the faster movements, marked by dynamically contrasting shifts. In the slow movement, Adagio cantabile, the lyrical clarity of the lines and emotional depth came strongly to the fore.
The Amadeus Trio fully unveiled its rich sonic imagination in the stunning Piano Trio in A minor, Op. 50, which Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky composed In memory of a great artist—his close friend and mentor Nikolai Rubinstein. The composer’s only piano trio, broadly divided into two parts with the second being a monumental set of eleven variations, captivates with its dense textures, dynamic range, and beautiful melodies.
In the performance by the Viennese musicians, we could admire their incredible technical brilliance and emotional depth, refined interaction, and dynamic balance, enabling the full expressive spectrum of the music to shine - through delicately nuanced phrasing as well as dramatically intense outbursts.
The Amadeus Trio from Vienna is an exceptional ensemble of masters of the Viennese sound, who, with technical perfection, expressive depth, and a noble, mature interpretation, brought to the audience an impressive sonic cultur - one that listeners would undoubtedly wish to experience more often.

Wiener Konzerthaus - a new piano trio from Vienna with Amadeus to classical heights
A new chamber music formation presented itself in Vienna – and immediately impressed the audience. A surprise, as the Austrian cultivation of local artists has gradually lost qualities and personalities in recent years. Three Viennese soloists, well-rehearsed and perfectly coordinated with one another, have now presented themselves as an excellent piano trio in the Vienna Konzerthaus.
As the AMADEUS TRIO now delivers pure classical music iin all its beauty from Vienna to concert halls around the world. Violin and cello sound as if they were made from a single piece, the timbres are pure, soft, transparent, new sound fantasies always make you sit up and take notice, delicate thinking is carried out, a lovely breath can be felt. This means that extremely delicate music-making full of empathy is offered. And the 'Amadeus': no shame, Austrian cultural history - and also sounds good to the ears of Japanese or American music lovers."

A “high mass” of piano trio music -
T
a demanding program was brought to the point.
The AMADEUS TRIO celebrated a kind of “high mass” for the prominent piano trio literature in the cultural center of the former sacred space of the Wels Minoritenkirche.
The evening's program included Joseph Haydn's Piano Trio No. 39 including its famous “Alla Zingarese” finale, Beethoven's “Ghost Trio” op. 70/1 and Mendelssohn's Piano Trio in D minor, three highlights of the genre that attracted a considerable number of visitors.
Technically able to perform at a high level at any time, corresponding to the demanding works, the trio also impressed with the clever program structure.
In it, they traced a development: it led from the clearly balanced, “classical” form of the Haydn opus via Beethoven, who preferred a more individually expressive style, to Mendelssohn's pure Romanticism, which invites melodious rapture. All this was brought to the point.
Thus Haydn lived up to an ideal of sound, Beethoven convinced with drama and Mendelssohn delighted with voluptuous melodies.
The audience applauded enthusiastically for three encores.”
