Trio Sypniewski
AP417 - 1CD - 56' - Mar 13, 2026
For their debut album Origines, the three sisters of the Sypniewski trio explore the works of Purcell, Beethoven, Sibelius, and Saariaho. They virtuously navigate the paradox of this trio, where individuality and cohesion serve a unified expression.
Born in 2016, the Sypniewski Trio brings together Magdalena, Anna and Caroline Sypniewski. For “Origines”, their first album, the three sisters return both to the birth of the string trio and to the origins of their own ensemble. The programme includes Purcell’s fantasias for viols – intimate pieces enriched by the musicians’ historically informed performance practice – alongside trios by Sibelius and Beethoven (the third of the Op. 9 set, the most ardent and innovative of his works in the genre), as well as Kaija Saariaho’s intense Cloud Trio. These varied musical landscapes offer the Sypniewski sisters the opportunity to play with virtuosity on the paradox of the trio format, where individuality and cohesion serve a single musical narrative, which they shape with precision and poetry in a spirit of total commitment.
