The<br \/>\ncomposition by the twenty-fiveyear-old Alexander Zemlinsky<br \/>\nrepresents the arrival of the search for new sounds and harmonies. The one-movement trio by the nineteen-year-old piano virtuoso and composer Sergei Rachmaninov exhibits that nobly elegiac quality that would become characteristic of the future works of the world famous musician. Anton Arensky\u2019s short life was marred by mental illness, while the lives of Zemlinsky and Rachmaninov were struck by external circumstances \u2013 they died within a year of each other while far from their homelands in the United States. With \u00e9lan and commitment all its own, the internationally acclaimed Smetana Trio is presenting three noteworthy compositions of the late nineteenth century. Supraphon will release the album on CD and digital formats on 29th March 2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The three compositions that the Smetana Trio has chosen for its new recording (SU 4258-2) were written within the span of just four years, but they represent three different musical worlds.
