Undoubtedly, the Arbós Trio and its splendid maturity is already a collective success, an achievement that concerns us all in a country where such feats are so costly.
Formed by the violinist Ferdinando Trematore, the cellist José Miguel Gómez and the pianist Juan Carlos Garvayo
Winner of the 2013 National Music Award, the Arbós Trio was founded in Madrid in 1996, under the name of the famous Spanish conductor, violinist and composer Enrique Fernández Arbós (1863-1939). Today it is one of the most prestigious chamber groups on the European music scene.
An extensive and varied discography of more than 30 albums bears witness to the bold and innovative nature of a group that has made a decisive contribution to the recovery of Spanish and Latin American musical heritage (Pedrell, Turina, Granados, de Falla, Malats, Gombau, Bautista, Remacha, Bacarisse, Nin-Culmell, Suriñach, etc.); to contemporary musical creation (monographs dedicated to Torres, de Pablo, Erkoreka, Sierra, etc.) or to the dialogue with genres as diverse as flamenco ( Travesías with Rafael de Utrera), jazz (Kapustin, Play it again ), zarzuela or boleros (in collaboration with Sandra Carrasco). Not in vain, the prestigious London magazine Gramophone has defined the Arbós Trio as “one of the most complete and future-oriented chamber groups of today”.
The Arbós Trio performs regularly at major international venues and festivals: the Vienna Konzerthaus, the Tchakovsky Conservatory in Moscow, the Sibelius Academy in Helsinki, the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, the National Auditorium in Madrid, the Wittener Tage für neue Kammermusik , the Kuhmo Festival, the Venice Biennale, the Spoleto Festival, the MUSICA Festival in Strasbourg, the Berlin Philharmonie, the Klangspuren Festival, ULTIMA in Oslo, Time of Music in Viitasaari , the Casals Festival in Puerto Rico, the Dutch Flamenco Biennial, the Transart Festival in Bolzano, the Donostiarra Musical Fortnight, the Granada Music and Dance Festival, the Seville Flamenco Biennial, etc.
Since its foundation, one of the main objectives of the Arbós Trio has been to contribute to the enrichment of classical trio literature through the commissioning of new works. Composers such as Georges Aperghis, Ivan Fedele, Toshio Hosokawa, Mauricio Sotelo, Bernhard Gander, Thierry Pécou, Elena Mendoza, José María Sánchez Verdú and María de Alvear, among more than a hundred, have written works for this ensemble.
Their innovative projects are regularly sponsored by prestigious institutions such as the Ernst von Siemens Musikstiftung and the BBVA Foundation . They currently record exclusively for their own label, Sacratif . Their latest work, which includes harpsichord and piano versions of Manuel de Falla's Concerto , has been hailed by international critics as one of the best recordings of this masterpiece of Spanish literature.
