Score and PartsStandard: ElementaryChristine Brown is a highly respected teacher and composer for young people and in her Chandos Suite for violin cello and piano she marries her wealth of practical experience in coaching elementary players in the art of chamber music with her distinctively tuneful way of writing for the three instruments. A wistful Prelude precedes a mysterious scherzo of plucked and bowed whole-tone scales. A Serenade gives all the players a chance to shine in cantabile melody before the pulsating rhythms of the final Dance bring the suite to a brilliant conclusion. The Chandos Suite is a worthy addition to Stainer &Bell's collection of classic piano trios for young musicians including popular works by Frank Bridge Adam Carse Cornelius Gurlitt and Peter Martin.

Le fait que le compositeur Bohême Zdenek Fibich (1850-1900) est dans l'ombre de Smetana et Dvorák est totalement injustifié car il, trop, a contribué à la Fondation de l'école nationale tchèque. Son oeuvre la plus connue est probablement le thème subsidiaire de son poème symphonique À Twilight' qui est devenue célèbre sous le nom de 'Poème'. Le violoniste Jan Kubelík joué ce mélodie sous ce titre depuis 1908, et comme tel le travail est devenu connu et, avec son charme accrocheur, est maintenant un des thèmes classiques plus populaires. / Trio Avec Piano

Par RAVEL MAURICE. Created during the First World War, Maurice Ravel's composition 'Le Tombeau de Couperin' casts a longing look at the past while at the same time being full to the brim with traces of modern music. Each of the six movements is dedicated to friends who died in battle. In 1919 Ravel arranged four of these movements for large orchestra by skilfully borrowing melodic lines and colours from the piano setting. In the present new arrangement written for the Stella Piano Trio, these elements were adjusted to the instrumentation and their relationship within the ensemble. As in Ravel's orchestration, each note is taken into account, even if the cello is sometimes given a melody which is an octave lower than the original./ Répertoire / Trio avec Piano
