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).
