Trio Gaspard | Leeds Inspired

In the background are lots of angular white marble buildings with blue/green doors. There are three people in the foreground, two are white men and one white woman. One of the men has a mass of dark curly hair, glasses, a beard and is holding a violin. The other man is sat cross legged with his elbow on his knee and arm bend up towards his face. He is has shorter light brown hair and is also smiling. The third person is a white woman with long dark dark, and has her arms wrapped around a cello.

László Lajtha Trio Concertante
Johannes Brahms Piano Trio No 2

Vienna to Budapest features compositions by hugely contrasting personalities who also share many common elements. We hear Johannes Brahms’ second piano trio which, like many of his other works, was influenced by Hungarian folk-music and language.

We also hear two lesser-known pieces from the 20th century: Sándor Veress’ Tre Quadri (Three Paintings), based on three 17th-century paintings, and László Lajtha’s long-neglected piano trio, deservingly receiving a renaissance here.
