Dvořák is renowned for his seemingly endless supply of great melodies. In this trio, they take on a touchingly serious, mature quality that has led many to regard it as his greatest achievement in the genre. Thierry Escaich’s haunting Scenes of a Child at Dusk vindicates his reputation as one of France’s finest living composers. Edgar Meyer takes centre stage with an unusual adaptation of a Bach sonata, highlighting its masterly interwoven lines, before settling into his own Concert Duo with Tessa Lark – a piece which draws the listener into an extraordinary mix of Classical forms and folk-inspired joy.
