  • About the Artists

    • The Vienna Piano Trio was founded in 1988 by pianist Stefan Mendl, violinist Wolfgang Redik, and cellist Christian Poltéra. The Trio studied with Trio di Trieste, the Beaux Arts Trio, and the Haydn Trio Wien, and was selected by Isaac Stern as one of six ensembles for the 1993 Public Chamber Music Workshop at Carnegie Hall.

    Among its many honors are 1st Prize at the 1992 Concours Charles Hennen in the Netherlands and the 1989 Certificate of Distinction awarded to the best piano trio by the famous Accademia Musicale Chigiana in Siena, Italy.

    After its successful Beethoven concert cycle at the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Trio was invited to perform the complete Schubert piano literature at the Vienna Musikverein and at Wigmore Hall in London.

    The Vienna Piano Trio has recorded two CDs with the complete piano trios of Brahms (Naxos), as well as works by Dvorak, Beethoven, and Mendelssohn for the British Nimbus label. Their recording of Dvorak was chosen as the 1996 “Record of the Year” by BBC3 Radio.
