Recreating the tonal language of a composer and the essence of an entire age is the goal of the young Trio Alterna, which has recorded a CD of piano trios by Ludwig van Beethoven on GENUIN that includes the composer's magnificent Ghost Trio. Takahiko Sakamaki (piano), Anna Dmitrieva (violin), and Amarilis Dueñas Castán (cello) are all distinguished representatives of their generation in the field of historical performance practice. The trio, which began its career by winning a prize at the International Competition "Beethoven in his Time" in 2020, not only performs on period instruments but also consults period sources and manuscripts of the works being performed for its interpretations.




Crescendo Magazine
"The wild energy that takes possession of the Allegro con brio of the "Gassenhauer" (originally conceived for clarinet) reveals the enthusiasm of this young ensemble, which has an eye for historically informed practices and plays on historical or equivalent instruments." Review by Christophe Steyne, December 22, 2023

Fono Forum
"[...] the Cologne-based Trio Alterna emphatically underlines its competence in Beethoven." Review by Norbert Hornig, 10/2023 issue

Pizzicato
"They approach these works on period instruments and in a manner that is equally attentive to the period in which they were composed. The still young trio offers an unusual approach for this instrumentation."Review byPál Körtefa, 11 May 2023
