What's happening in the music
Sandor Veress was a Swiss-Hungarian composer whose trio ‘Three Paintings’ was composed in 1963. Haydn’s piano trios are performed less often than his string quartets, but No.44 certainly shows an abundance of the mastery and inventiveness for which he is loved. Schumann’s F major trio is a warmly expressive work with which ends with joyous élan and momentum.
“It’s truly a delight, and leaves this listener hungry for more … There’s much to applaud in this new exploration of the piano trios”
The Strad, 2022 (Haydn: Complete Piano Trios, Vol 1)
