Leonore Piano Trio

Pavilion Arts Centrebutton--dates-and-timesDates & Times

The second concert in this year’s Festival to feature less well known Piano Trios, includes the last of Edouard Lalo’s glittering works in this medium which these artists recorded in 2014 in a gratefully received complete set. 

They are all works of Lalo’s maturity, at the height of late 19th century romanticism, and the music is at once passionate, tender, virtuosic and exhilarating, from the hands of a great melodist and a master of long-breathed architecture. 

Performances are rare, undeservedly. The same could be said for Dvořák’s 3rd Piano trio, and probably because the composer was hugely prolific and the popularity of his 4th Trio, ‘Dumky’ has pushed the 3rd aside too often. This work is full of characteristic inspiration and colour, and Leonore Trio’s championing of these pieces will surely go a long way to establishing them firmly at the centre of chamber music repertoire.
