Considered the new image of the clarinet-violin-piano combination, the Zodiac Trio have recently been welcomed to the internationally distinguished artist roster of Columbia Artists Management. Originating in New York, Zodiac Trio first made its mark on the international competition circuit as protégé of the legendary Ysaÿe Quartet at the Paris Conservatory, and have went on to enjoy an international touring scheduling that surpasses any other ensemble of its kind.Combining the legendary, the unearthed and the new, this recording features Igor Stravinsky's suite from his devilish "L'Histoire du Soldat;" a world-premiere recording of "A Smiling Suite" by famed French composer Nicolas Bacri - a tongue-in-cheek compilation of homages to the great styles of classical music; a hauntingly beautiful Trio by the Soviet mystic Galina Ustvolskaya whose music never made its way across the iron curtain, but fascinated Shostakovich enough to quote in his own chamber works, and the Zodiac Trio's trademark interpretation of one of 20th century's pillars of chamber music - Bela Bartok's legendary Contrasts.
The dynamic clarinet-violin-piano ensemble Zodiac Trio releases a new CD dedicated to American contemporary chamber music, with 4 commissioned works, including a special call-for-score project titled "Zodiac: Across the Universe" - a tapestry of 12 one-minute movements by 12 different composers.
