The Schnyder Trio celebrated its debut at the Tonhalle Zurich in 2012, and soon thereafter released its first CD with Schubert’s Piano Trios, which was hailed „a new benchmark recording“ by the magazine Die Bühne and selected „Switzerland’s Best Classical Album 2013“ by the Aargauer Zeitung. This immediate success was followed by the recording of Brahms’ complete Piano Trios, which also received great critical acclaim and has been awarded a “Milestone” from Musik & Theater and selected “Switzerland’s Best Classical Album 2014” by the Aargauer Zeitung. The latest recording "Winterreisen" was selected “CD of the month” of the Opernwelt magazine and has been awarded a Supersonic from Pizzicato. Currently, the trio is recording the complete Beethoven Piano Trios for Sony Classical. Highlights in the short history of the Schnyders include invitations by the SWR Schlossfestspiele Ettlingen, the Meisterzyklus Bern, London Wigmore Hall, Schloss Elmau, a tour of Taiwan, South Corea and Japan and residencies at the Hirzenberg and Musikdorf Ernen festivals. Future performances include debuts at the Homburger Meisterkonzerte, WDR Köln, Hugo-Wolf-Akademie Stuttgart, Alte Oper Frankfurt, Ittinger Pfingskonzerte and Concertgebouw Amsterdam.
