Since its formation in 1980, the Trio Fontenay has been lavishly praised by critics for their technical excellence, richness of tone, and depth of interpretative imagination.
Trio Fontenay has recorded for Denon, EMI Electrola, and Teldec. Their recording of the Beethoven Piano Trios for Teldec received the 1994 Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik, the German Record Critics Award. They have recorded the complete piano trios by Brahms, Mendelssohn, Mozart, Schubert, and Dvorák, as well as works by Ives and Schumann and a Ravel/Debussy/Fauré disc.
The name “Fontenay” was chosen for two reasons. First, it is an old French translation of “source” or “fantasy.” Second, it is the name of the street near the Hamburg Conservatory where the musicians first met to practice.
“...a remarkable unanimity of sound and purpose.” (The New York Times)
