About
The Lendvai String Trio release the fourth and final disc in a series of the complete String Trios by Dutch composer Julius Röntgen (1855-1932).
The trio’s journey began in 2007 when they stumbled across Röntgen’s first string trio (the only one published to date), and soon after discovered that there are fifteen more, carefully stored in handwritten manuscript form in the Netherlands Music Institute in the Hague.
A major award - The Kersjes Prize - and support from Champs Hill Records has enabled this project to be realised.
A unique feature of these works is its numerous references to traditional Dutch tunes and dances. Roentgen’s interest in folk music was largely due to his friendship with Edvard Grieg, with whom he travelled through Norway in search of Norwegian folk songs. For Röntgen it became important to do the same for the traditional music of Holland, and he considered the dissemination and popularization of his national music as one of his most important tasks.

Reviews
“…The performances are superbly committed and the recording…is superbly balanced, the players in a beautiful natural perspective…I think this might just be the best of the series”
Guy Rickards – Gramophone magazine – February 2017
"There's a Nordic flavour to this Dutch-German composer's meaty string trios, with their attractive, folky dances and searching wistfulness. The superb Lendvai Trio makes a good case for them."
