The SpiegelBild Trio brings together a highly unusual combination of saxophone, accordion, and piano. They take a fresh look at famous classical works in addition to focusing on new music written especially for them by the younger generation of composers.
The keyboard players for the SpiegelBild Trio are two young graduates of the Gnesin Russian Academy of Music in Moscow, Konstantin Zvyagin and Vadim Baev. Shortly after completing their years there, they both moved to Cologne in order to study at the University of Music and Dance, where they soon formed a duo. Enthusiastic public reception, along with meeting the gifted saxophonist Xavier Larsson, inspired them to form the SpiegelBild Trio. Together, they now pursue a very active concert schedule throughout much of Germany and abroad. Their fruitful collaboration with young composers, their search for original works for this unusual combination of instruments, as well as working on new transcriptions and arrangements have enabled the trio to build a varied repertoire for this very exciting mix of sonorities.
