Ensemble

 

Trio Ondine is a classical music ensemble that was founded in 2005. The trio consists of three main members: violinist Virginie Robilliard, cellist Valérie Aimard, and pianist Cédric Tiberghien. The ensemble is known for its dynamic and expressive performances of classical music, particularly works from the Romantic era. The founding of Trio Ondine was the result of a collaboration between the three musicians, who had previously worked together in various other ensembles and orchestras. They decided to form their own ensemble in order to explore the repertoire for piano trio and to bring their unique musical perspectives to the genre. Since its founding, Trio Ondine has performed extensively throughout Europe and the United States, earning critical acclaim for its performances and recordings. The ensemble has been praised for its technical precision, musical sensitivity, and ability to bring out the emotional depth of the music. One of the highlights of Trio Ondine's career was its performance at the 2007 Festival de Radio France et Montpellier, where the ensemble received a standing ovation for its performance of Schubert's Piano Trio No. 2 in E-flat major. The trio has also performed at other major festivals, including the Edinburgh International Festival, the Salzburg Festival, and the Lucerne Festival. In addition to its live performances, Trio Ondine has also released several acclaimed recordings. The ensemble's debut album, featuring works by Schumann and Brahms, was released in 2008 and received widespread critical praise. The trio has also recorded works by Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and Dvořák, among others. Trio Ondine has received numerous awards and accolades for its performances and recordings. In 2009, the ensemble was awarded the Diapason d'Or for its recording of Schumann's Piano Trios. The trio has also been nominated for several other awards, including the Gramophone Award and the BBC Music Magazine Award. Despite its success, Trio Ondine remains committed to exploring new repertoire and pushing the boundaries of the piano trio genre. The ensemble continues to perform and record, and its members are highly respected musicians in their own right, performing as soloists and in other ensembles in addition to their work with Trio Ondine.
