The Trio Zadig marks this Saint-Sa”ens anniversary year by presenting him not only as a composer but also as a transcriber of other composers’ works. Rameau’s Pi`eces de clavecin en concerts 1 and 5, together with Liszt’s Orpheus, both arranged by Saint-Sa”ens for piano trio, frame his own op. 92. This programme gives the listener the impression of travelling through both time and space, in the 18th and 20th centuries, in Hungary and in France. The Zadig trio remain true to their quest for unusual and unfamiliar repertoire; following the example of Voltaire’s hero, they continue their adventures in the world of chamber music.

To mark Saint-Sa”ens Year, Trio Zadig invites us to admire two essential facets of his art: composition and transcription. Pieces arranged for piano trio – Rameau’s Pi`eces de clavecin en concerts Nos. 1 and 5 and Liszt’s Orpheus – frame Saint-Sa”ens’s own Trio No. 2 Op. 92. This programme gives us the impression of travelling through time and space, between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, between Hungary and France… It is a chance to discover or rediscover the compositional skills, sense of form and dialogue, thematic inventiveness and rich harmonies of Saint-Sa”ens. True to its penchant for seldom-frequented repertory, Trio Zadig, imitating the Voltairean hero from whom it takes its name, continues its adventure in the world of chamber music.
