Once again, the three young women of the Boulanger Trio make a big, logical and musically convincing arc. From Camille Saint-Saëns to Gabriel Fauré to Lili Boulanger, alongside her sister Nadia, the trio’s namesake. This bridging is obvious from a historical point of view, since direct connections between the composer can be seen. But music-historical connection or not – the compilation of works is particularly convincing because the Boulanger Trio has put together three very excellent, highly interesting and undoubtedly very expressive works.
Already the entry into the head movement of Camille Saint-Saëns ’Trio No. 2 in E minor op. 92 ignites its own magic. Starting with the piano positioned in the middle of the sound image, the violin extends from the left and the cello arranged on the right passes on the velvety tones. A wave of sound emerges that slowly sloshes from side to side with a seamless legato. This calmly progressing beginning will soon be replaced by a more dynamic level of action. And it is precisely here, for example in the contrapuntal condensation of the implementation, that there are (tonal) problems. As much as the acoustic closeness at first, the zooming in of the listener to the musicians can have a wonderful effect, there seems to be a lack of spatial development in the counterpoint-dense passages; the condensed sound texture has too little air to breathe.
Despite these tonal difficulties, Karla Haltewanger on the piano, the violinists Birgit Erz and Ilona Kindt on the cello create an atmosphere full of tension. The coordination between the three instrumentalists is excellent and the richness of timbres is immense. The ‘Allegretto’, which is held in the unusual five-bar measure, is played with momentum; a bit irritated by the odd meter, listeners like to let themselves be carried away by the robust sound of the Boulanger Trio. In the following two sentences, the three women unfold a very dense, dynamically finely graduated sound. Especially in the middle ‘Andante con moto’, a very gentle singing song, the graceful sentence could have been provided with less vibrato in order to support the character with a tonally nuance. In the final movement, the Boulanger Trio acts again with verve and is able to set a powerful conclusion. Especially the non-French grooving in the closing ‘Allegro’ does not sound gnarled in the rousing interpretation of the Boulanger Trio.
Before the three ladies of the Boulanger Trio bring two pieces of their namesake to life in a highly expressive way, they explore the rather delicately arranged movement in Gabriel Faures’s minor minor trio op. 120 from 1923. The fact that the hymnic passages in particular also find their way here and are sung out radiantly contributes to the convincing presentation of the Boulanger Trio. Here, too, the playing with timbres and nuances is amazing, the balance between the instruments is first class.
The Boulanger Trio concludes with a veritable closing point – probably more of an exclamation mark – with Lili Boulanger’s ‘D’un soir triste’ and ‘D’un matin de printemps’, both from 1918. The first piece seems soaked with the sad experiences of the first world War. Unfolding a huge funeral march in the middle, it is charged with the utmost expressiveness, at least as interpreted by the Boulanger Trio. It is thanks to the three musicians that this expressiveness never appears superficial, merely depicted, but rather has a very deep, authentic effect. The end of this recording is the much shorter, cheerful ‘D’un matin de printemps’, which has imprinted the compositional sophistication in a happy, carefree sound surface.
