2024: French Reflections, vol. 4: Trios and Trumpets

2024

"Trios and Trumpets" gathers music from Austria, Hungary, and France. The piano trio is represented by Mozart and Chaminade, and two lighthearted works with trumpet balance the trios: In Martinů’s fanciful "La revue de cuisine", the instruments depict kitchen utensils, with the mirth vividly reflected in Saint-Saëns’s jovial septet.
