| Although Haydn and Mozart contributed much to the development of the piano trio, Beethoven breathed new life and dynamism into the genre, expanding its size and scope and enriching its thematic and tonal substance. His trios set the standard for the further flourishing of the genre in the 19th century, as the works of Franz Schubert, Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann, Johannes Brahms and Antonin Dvorak show. The Shaham Erez Wallfisch Trio was founded in 2009 and consists of three of today’s best international instrumentalists. When Hagai Shaham and Raphael Wallfisch played chamber music together at the Pablo Casals Prades Festival, an immediate musical synergy developed. Arnon Erez joined them later that year for trio concerts in Lucerne and the Netherlands and the Trio Shaham Erez Wallfisch was formed.
