Trio Parnassus is a piano trio founded in 1982 by the pianist Friedemann Rieger, the violinist Wolf-Dieter Streicher and the cellist Michael Groß .
The Trio Parnassus is named after the mountain Parnassus named, who in Greek mythology the god Apollo consecrated and the home of the Muses is. Just a few months after its founding, the three young artists won First Prize at the Chamber Music Competition in Colmar . Concert commitments, radio recordings and CD recordings with the label Musikproduktion Dabringhaus & Grimmfollowed. The trio soon conquered a permanent place in the international concert business. Again and again, it was a concern of the three musicians, in addition to the common repertoire also less well-known or unjustly forgotten works of trio literature to include in their concert programs. In 1989, Chia Chou joined the trio as a new pianist; In 2005, Yu Yamei took over the violin podium.
The trio Parnassus, in contrast to other ensembles, avoids the historicization that became fashionable in the seventies , but has developed its own unique sound identity using modern instruments.
The complete recording of Mozart's piano trios was praised by the BBC as a definitive interpretation on modern instruments. No less successful are the recordings of all the trios by Beethoven , Brahms and Schumann as well as a good dozen other composers, including, among others, the first recordings of the works of Édouard Lalo , Joseph Rheinberger , Philipp Scharwenka and Woldemar Bargiel . A special discovery was the chamber music of Prince Louis Ferdinand of Prussia , to which the trio Parnassus has released three CDs.
In 2001, the Trio Parnassus received the Echo Klassik of the German Phono-Akademie for its complete recording of the piano trios by Robert Schumann , which once again distinguished the ensemble in 2008 - this time for the interpretation of the piano trio D major op. 1 and the suite op Erich Wolfgang Korngold .
The trio performs throughout Europe as well as in America, where it performed in October 1996 a. a. as a guest of the Great Performers Series at New York's Lincoln Center . The trio is often a guest in German broadcasters, because it always new and unfamiliar pieces integrated into his programs and thereby revived many masterpieces. In 1999, the trio Parnassus was voted one of the two leading piano trios of the present day by the British magazine Classic CD.
At the beginning of 2013, the pianist Chia Chou was replaced by his Finnish colleague Henri Sigfridsson . Since 2016, the trio Parnassus plays in the cast with Johann Blanchard, Julia Galic and Michael Gross. The new formation has also recorded a first CD.
