In times of a pandemic calling for distance and isolation, one topic in particular has come to the fore: loneliness – a feeling that has always left deep traces in people. Yet lonely moments have also produced great art. Clara Schumann created her chamber music masterpiece – the Trio in G minor – after suffering a miscarriage on the secluded island of Norderney. Franz Schubert harnessed the feelings of loneliness in his E-flat Major Trio: In remote harmonic spheres, we are confronted with melancholy and confidence in equal measure. Finally, with the world premiere of Julia Purgina's trio, the Oberon Trio shows us what sonic inspirations being alone in the lockdown can produce today.
