‘WE’RE TRYING TO TOY AROUND WITH THE TIMING, DELAYING OR PUSHING FORWARDS SLIGHTLY, SO THERE IS AN ELEMENT OF SURPRISE’ – JENS ELVEKJAER
There were two languages being spoken at this recording session in Copenhagen: Danish and German. There could have been a third if the sisters, violinist Soo-Jin and cellist Soo-Kyung Hong, had chosen to communicate in Korean. Trio con Brio Copenhagen embodies those three distinctive yet complementary traditions: the wave of rigorously trained instrumental talent to have emerged from the Far East, the blossoming of the Nordic classical music scene into a 21st-century powerhouse, and the deep-rooted musical tradition of central Europe.
