Sometimes, lesser known composers find their works vanishing into oblivion. But there are times when some of the most recognized and celebrated composers find some of their works being underperformed. The latter category is the theme of this Azica disc from the ATOS Trio. Formed in 2003, the relative newcomers to the concert stage are already sweeping many of the world's most prestigious chamber music awards. The group opens with Beethoven's E flat Trio, Op. 70/2, the "Cinderella" of the pair of trios that includes the vastly more popular "Ghost" Trio of Op. 70/1. ATOS was spot-on in choosing this vastly underappreciated, magnificent trio. The album continues with Schubert's single movement, virtually unknown "Notturno" and Schumann's weighty but enjoyable Op. 110 G minor trio. While its programming skills are impeccable, the group's performance skills are even better. It isn't enough just to program music that isn't heard often; listeners need an engaging, thoughtful, and energetic performance of these lesser known works and ATOS delivers all that and more. The tone is especially warm and powerful, with an excellent balance between the three skilled musicians. The Beethoven is youthful and energetic, Schubert is intimate and evocative, and Schumann is controlled and nuanced. Whether as an introduction to the ATOS trio or the fine, underappreciated literature on this album, this disc is sure to please.
