About

The Oliver Schnyder Trio plays two masterpieces of Czech chamber music: the Piano Trio, op.15, by Bedřich Smetana and the famous ‘Dumky’ Trio, op.90, by Antonín Dvořák.

The trio has chosen ‘Bohemian Rhapsodies’ as the title of the present album – a reference to the historical geographical origin of the two recorded works, but also a deliberate homage to the legendary album by the British pop group Queen. Musicologist Eva Gesine Bauer explains more about this in her booklet text.

Reviews

I am increasingly impressed by Prospero’s approach to its releases. Here is another polished product, with great artwork, colourful sleeve notes and top-notch recording quality. The trio seemingly feel every note in Smetana’s grief-fulled G minor work, while the Dvorak really pops.
