Marcin Hałat, Piotr Lato and Marcin Mączyński undertook here the premiere recording of two Piano Trios by Karol Rathaus: Trio, Op. 53 from 1944 and Trio-Serenade, Op. 69 from 1953. Metaphorically speaking, reading a manuscript is like touching the reality of the composer himself, his thoughts, emotions and events from a world that surrounded him and that he missed. The main idea behind the whole process of being with Karol Rathaus’s Piano Trios, from reading the manuscripts to recording the compositions, is primarily the desire to discover the composer’s aim and read his intentions. The overriding idea was to show the listener the characteristic language of the artist and to create an individual work of art at the level of a piano trio. © DUX Records
