Belmont Trio
Maxine Neuman (Cello), Karin Scholz and Peter Ernst (Guitars) first joined forces in 2000 on short notice to record Sergei Rachmaninoff's famous Vocalise. That spontaneous project has since evolved into a regularly concertizing chamber ensemble, performing in Europe and the USA.
These three outstanding musicians have founded a truly exceptional and unique ensemble. Their debut CD, released this year on Thorofon Classics - including works from Bach to Piazzolla - is an irrepressible showcase of their talents.
