Trio Arcadis - Poems

The French Trio Arcadis explores the music of Vienna around 1900 with emblematic works of that time. The program includes transcriptions of two songs by Brahms, Zemlinsky's first trio, and Schoenberg's Verklärte Nacht, originally a sextet, in a version for piano, violin and cello. The music is interspersed with poetry - the texts of the lieder, the poem that inspired Verklärte Nacht - spoken by the inimitable voice of the actress Fanny Ardant.
