While listening to the music of Trio.Berlin first you could think of a contemporary chamber music ensemble.
But it is quite different, most of the music which is strongly influenced by composers like Olivier Messiaen especially his „Quatuor pour la fin du temps“ and the „Klangästhetik“ of Alban Berg and Sergey Prokofiev is improvised, combined with parts that are completely written out compositions. By using this approach Jos Rinck/Flute, Petra Woisetschläger/Piano and Udo Betz/Doublebass create their very own genre which they label as „Enhanced Interpretation“ and „Improvised Chamber Music“.
We are very sad that master musician Jos Rinck, the flutist of this recording passed away unexpected in November 2025.
You are missed as our best friend and the most extraordinary musician with whom we had the honor and pleasure to work with!

“Die Stimme von Petra Woisetschläger zeigt so viele Facetten auf, dass es einem den Atem raubt.”
“……Die Sängerin verfügt über eine dunkle, riesige Sangeskraft………. Äußerst expressiv ist ihr Ausdruck, das Album richtig gut, im Sinne der strengen RONDO-Bewertung.”
