Max Bruch’s compositions shine the last lights of German romanticism. Following in the footsteps of Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms, Bruch persisted in defending a melodic line inspired by popular culture, “one can only hope in these times that are hostile to melody”.

Today, this is at the heart of the beauty of his chamber music, a final and fitting testimony of 19th century Germany.The Trio op. 5 for violin, cello and piano was started in Leipzig in 1857 and finished a few months later. It is his first mature work as a young musician. Beyond the obvious influence of Mendelssohn and Schumann, the Trio is a testimony of the profound coherence of the composer: his melodic grace, his resolutely romantic expression are to be found here for the first time, but these are characteristics of his compositional output. Composed in 1911, the Eight Pieces ring like a goodbye to German romanticism such as Schumann and his Märchenerzählungen. As Schumann did before him, Bruch’s structures now favour a “character piece”, going away from the rigid frame of the Sonata.
