Swiss Piano Trio
Martin Lucas Staub, piano - Angela Golubeva, violin - Franz Ortner, violoncello
“one of the very top piano trio ensembles on today’s stage“
US-Magazine Fanfare
"I’m not usually one to say, “Throw out all other recordings you have of these works,” but if I were so inclined,
this new release would come perilously close to prompting me to say it. These magnificently recorded fantastic performances are urgently recommended." US-Magazine Fanfare about the recording of the piano trios by Mendelssohn
"This is quite simply a masterclass in chamber music performance."

*****
On 26 June 2026, the Swiss Piano Trio performed at the Elbphilharmonie in Hamburg together with Christian Staub and Nora Romanoff Schwarzberg during the Hamburger Kammermusikfest International !
Their performances of Beethoven’s Piano Quartet Op. 16, Fauré’s Piano Quartet Op. 15 and Christian Staub’s solo debut with Franz Liszt’s virtuoso Dante Sonata were met with great enthusiasm by the audience. For the acclaimed finale, all five musicians performed Brahms’ Hungarian Dances Nos. 4 and 1 together in an arrangement for piano four-hands, violin, viola and cello.
More impressions coming soon on this website!
