“A piano trio bursting with far more than promise.”
— The Times (London)
Named after the legendary violinist Adolf Busch, this European ensemble has emerged as one of their generation’s ‘leading piano trios’ (Süddeutsche Zeitung). The members of the Busch Trio met in London during their studies at the Royal College of Music more than a decade ago. In recent seasons, the trio has performed at Konzerthaus Berlin, Wigmore Hall in London, Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris and across the US and Canada. Having recored 8 CDs on Alpha Classics since 2016, their most recent 2023 release, Ravel & Shostakovich: Piano Trios, was called “a first-rate issue” by Gramophone and “absolutely overwhelming” by BBC Music Magazine.
