couples Frenchman Ravel’s epic trio, full of rich, orchestral
sonorities, with Englishman Warner’s prize-winning trio which was
awarded the Coolidge Prize in the USA in 1921. Continuing their Piano
Trio Archaeology, Trio Anima Mundi gives a rare performance of this
work, recently recorded for their second CD release.Concert Two
features two composers who were ‘Kapellmeisters’ - Haydn most
famously to the Esterházy family, and Reissiger of the Dresden Court,
succeeding Carl Maria von Weber. The Haydn trio is jovial and bright;
and the contrasting romanticism of the Reissiger trio presentation
heralds the beginning of a multi-year TAM project to record all 27 of
his piano trios.Sometimes composers believe that larger-scale works
can be successfully presented with smaller forces. Such is the case
with the two works in Concert Three. Both the Symphony (reduced from
full orchestra) and the Septet (originally for piano, trumpet, two
violins, viola, cello, bass) were re-arranged by their composers for
the piano trio medium to terrific effect. The Beethoven performance
launches the TAM ‘Beethoven 2020’ project - performing all of
Beethoven’s piano trios during his anniversary year over one
weekend.
