{ "ok" : true, "artist" : { "name" : "Streicher Trio", "page" : "streicher", "description" : "classical chamber music on period instruments", "location" : "Berkeley, CA, USA", "bio" : "The Streicher Trio is a favorite Bay Area chamber ensemble. Its \"playing is of a consistently high standard,\" reports the STRAD. Their core repertoire is of the Classical Era, with occasional performances and recordings of Baroque and Early Romantic Music.\n\nTheir interpretations on original and replica instruments enrich the standard Classical piano trio repertory, bringing the listener to the spirit of the original sonorities. \"They deliver resonant, buoyant readings, with the sound of the elusive fortepiano captured as well as I've ever heard it.\" --The SF Examiner.\n\nSince 1985, the ensemble has toured many years on the California Arts Council Rooster and in the USA, as well as winning grants to festivals in Germany, and France. Numerous concerts have included guest artists, ranging from vocalists and instrumentalists, to a Spanish dancer.\n\nThe prominent musicians heard on the Streicher Trio recordings include Katherine Kyme and Carla Moore, violin; Sarah Freiberg, cello; Charlene Brendler, fortepiano; and Judith Nelson, Soprano. \"The Trio's interpretation is dynamic, with a lot of lyrical movement, and persuasively profound.\"--The Diapason, France.\n\nBios:\n\nKatherine Kyme is a principal violinist and soloist with the Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and with the American Bach Soloists. She performs Classical era chamber music with the New Esterhazy Quartet as well as the Streicher Trio. In addition to advocating contemporary music, she conducts two youth orchestras connected with the California Youth Symphony. She studied violin at UC Berkeley, Yale University, and in Vienna.\n\nCharlene Brendler, founder of the Streicher Trio, performs on and teaches both fortepiano and harpsichord. She has made numerous appearances on both instruments as a recitalist, an ensemble member, as soloist with orchestra, and as a collaborator in lieder recitals. She serves on the faculty of UC Berkeley and the Crowden School. She studied early keyboard instruments in Amsterdam, London, New York, and Boston.\n\nSarah Freiberg, cellist on the recordings, teaches at Boston University and performs in a variety of ensembles in the Boston Area. She received her Doctorate from the University of New York at Stony Brook, is a graduate of Brown University, and studied at the Mozarteum in Salzburg. She is also a contributing editor for Strings Magazine.\n\nJoanna Blendulf, pictured cellist, is a native of Sweden, and performs with ensembles and orchestras across the nation. Currently in Portland, she is active with the Portland Baroque Orchestra, the American Bach Soloists, and Mirabile, to name a few. She was a competition runner-up in 2002 for the EMA/Dorian Competition playing the Triemer cello sonatas. She studied at the Cleveland Institute of Music and Indiana University.\n\nJudith Nelson, Soprano, (on the Musica da Camera 17th & 18th century selections from the Frank V. de Bellis Collection in San Francisco), is an internationally known specialist in early music singing. She has performed in over a hundred recordings with the most notable names in the field both in Europe and the USA.", "photo" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/img/streicher.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/streicher/", "albums" : [{ "sku" : "streicher-klaviertrios", "name" : "Mozart Klavier Trios", "artist" : { "name" : "Streicher Trio", "page" : "streicher" }, "release_date" : "2008-07-26", "genres" : ["Classical","Chamber Music","Classical Period","Instrumental"], "vocals" : "instrumental", "moods" : ["elegant","reflective","peaceful","tender","calm","nostalgic"], "uses" : ["documentary","period drama or history","study or focus","podcast background","spa or massage","romance"], "energy" : 2, "instrumentation" : ["piano","violin","cello","period instruments"], "sounds_like" : ["Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart"], "summary" : "Classical chamber music on period instruments featuring Mozart's piano trios—elegant, calm, and reflective, ideal for documentaries, period dramas, study, or spa settings.", "cover" : "https://magnatune.com/music/Streicher%20Trio/Mozart%20Klavier%20Trios/cover_400.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/albums/streicher-klaviertrios/", "api_url" : "https://magnatune.com/api/albums/streicher-klaviertrios", "buy_url" : "https://magnatune.com/buy/album?sku=streicher-klaviertrios" },{ "sku" : "streicher-musicadacamera", "name" : "Musica da Camera", "artist" : { "name" : "Streicher Trio", "page" : "streicher" }, "release_date" : "2008-07-26", "genres" : ["Classical","Chamber Music","Baroque","Classical Period","Instrumental"], "vocals" : "vocals", "moods" : ["elegant","reflective","tender","nostalgic","peaceful","romantic"], "uses" : ["period drama or history","documentary","study or focus","podcast background","art or gallery","meditation or yoga"], "energy" : 2, "instrumentation" : ["fortepiano","violin","cello","harpsichord"], "sounds_like" : ["Muzio Clementi","Luigi Boccherini","Baldassare Galuppi"], "summary" : "Baroque and Classical period chamber music on period instruments, featuring fortepiano, violin, and cello; elegant and reflective, ideal for historical content, study, or calm background use.", "cover" : "https://magnatune.com/music/Streicher%20Trio/Musica%20da%20Camera/cover_400.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/albums/streicher-musicadacamera/", "api_url" : "https://magnatune.com/api/albums/streicher-musicadacamera", "buy_url" : "https://magnatune.com/buy/album?sku=streicher-musicadacamera" },{ "sku" : "streicher-twopianotrios", "name" : "Two Romantic Piano Trios by Women Composers", "artist" : { "name" : "Streicher Trio", "page" : "streicher" }, "release_date" : "2008-07-26", "genres" : ["Classical","Chamber Music","Romantic Era","Instrumental"], "vocals" : "instrumental", "moods" : ["romantic","tender","reflective","elegant","nostalgic"], "uses" : ["period drama or history","romance","documentary","emotional storytelling","study or focus","podcast background"], "energy" : 3, "instrumentation" : ["piano","violin","cello","period instruments"], "sounds_like" : ["Clara Schumann","Louise Farrenc"], "summary" : "Romantic-era chamber music for piano trio on period instruments by Clara Schumann and Louise Farrenc, ideal for historical, romantic, or reflective media projects.", "cover" : "https://magnatune.com/music/Streicher%20Trio/Two%20Romantic%20Piano%20Trios%20by%20Women%20Composers/cover_400.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/albums/streicher-twopianotrios/", "api_url" : "https://magnatune.com/api/albums/streicher-twopianotrios", "buy_url" : "https://magnatune.com/buy/album?sku=streicher-twopianotrios" }] }, "license" : { "music_license" : "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 1.0 (CC BY-NC-SA 1.0)", "music_license_url" : "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0/", "listening" : "Stream the free previews, or buy an album for $8 to download it in MP3, AAC, ALAC, FLAC, OGG or WAV. 100% of the price goes to the musician.", "non_commercial" : "Non-commercial projects may use the music under CC BY-NC-SA 1.0: credit the artist and Magnatune, and share alike.", "projects" : "Magnatune members may use any Magnatune music in their projects, commercial or not (videos, films, podcasts, games, apps, websites, adverts), including work for clients, under the Magnatune Project Licence.
