The trios the Gould Trio have chosen for this
performance are united by their sunny disposition and high spirits.
Haydn’s effervescent work, written during his extended stay in London,
introduces the second of Schumann’s 1847 trios, described by the composer
as having a “friendlier and more immediate impression”. In turn, Schumann
declared that the D minor trio by his younger friend Mendelssohn “will
gladden our grandchildren and great-grandchildren for many years to come”.
James
MacMillan’s Piano Trio No.2 was a joint commission from the Gould Trio and
Bath International Festival. It is a concise work that “trips through
dazzle and introspection, ranging from clown-like high spirits to
delicately modal folk-like passages” (BBC Music Magazine).
