Trio No. 1

Description

Violin, Violoncello, Piano — "(Trio No. 1) begins with the piano playing a slowly morphing chord that starts as a series of strident blasts and gradually loses its sharp edges. Woven between these chords are fragments of a lyrical theme, in tandem violin and cello lines. As the theme coalesces, and the piano chords melt, Mr. Dalbavie builds a rich, harmonically freewheeling texture." (Allan Kozinn, The New York Times) For advanced performers. Duration: 18'
