Description:

＜Fritz Drechal, cello, was born in 1947. He studied at the Academy of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna under Professors Frieda Lissauer-Krauss and Enrico Mainardi, graduating with distinction in 1968. In 1973 he joined the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, and in 1974 he was appointed principal cello of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. ＜The Hedenborg Trio is a piano trio of brothers from Salzburg, Austria: Kazuki (violin), the eldest son; Naoki (cello), the second son; and Hiroshi (piano), the third son. Born to a Swedish father (violinist) and Japanese mother (pianist), they each received musical training from their parents. Kazuki, the eldest son, and Naoki, the second son, are regular members of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, and are also active in chamber music performances. They have performed together as a duo since their childhood, and in 2012, they started their activities as a trio.The three brothers' stay in Japan in the fall of 2016 coincided with their stay in Japan, which led to talks, and in 2017 their wish to tour Japan for the first time came true. The bond that transcends language, born from growing up in the same family and sharing the same values and sensibilities, leads to an intimate and breathtaking performance that only the brothers can deliver. The three members' individual talents are well balanced, and the rich harmonies they create are expected to grow in color in the years to come. (2/2) Camerata Tokyo
