Oliver Schnyder Trio

**Oliver Schnyder Trio** is a dynamic classical chamber group led by Swiss pianist Oliver Schnyder, known for their vibrant interpretations of Russian and Czech repertoire. Alongside Schnyder's expressive keyboard work, the trio features violinist Andreas Janke (former concertmaster of the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich) and cellist Benjamin Nyffenegger, both respected soloists and chamber musicians. They’ve gained attention for albums focusing on Shostakovich, Smetana, and Dvořák, including their 2021 release of Shostakovich’s piano trios and quintet, praised for its intensity and clarity. Their playful yet precise approach to pieces like Dvořák’s folk-infused "Dumky" Trio or Shostakovich’s haunting wartime works showcases their knack for balancing drama with nuanced storytelling. Based in Switzerland, the trio frequently performs at European festivals and venues, bringing fresh energy to classical warhorses and lesser-known gems alike.
