"Metaphorically speaking, reading a manuscript is like touching the
reality of the composer himself, his thoughts, emotions and events from
a world that surrounded him and that he missed,
but still a world we can
recreate thanks to interpretations of forgotten works.
The main idea
behind the whole process of being with Karol Rathaus's piano trios, from
readingthe manuscripts to recording the compositions,
is primarily the
desire to discover the composer's aim and read his intentions.
The overriding idea was to show the listener the characteristic language of
the artist and to create an individual work of art at the level of a
piano trio.' - Karol Rathaus Ensemble
