| Most us might think of Gabriel Fauré as a 19th century composer, but he lived through the first quarter of the 20th century. He remained a Romantic, however; and though his piano trio was written nine years after that of Maurice Ravel, it is the one that sounds the older of the two. Dark, with rich sonorities and a beautiful lyric second movement, Fauré's piece falls easily on the ears. Ravel's voluptuous composition does too, but is definitely more forward thinking in its use of harmony and rhythms. The Debussy is a student work that strikes me as an unusually competent piece of salon music, full of charm, but never profound or even hinting at any sort of greatness to come. The Florestan Trio plays each work in the proper style and with singular unanimity and uncanny balance. This musical threesome really thinks as one. Once a few intonation burrs are smoothed out, it will be a trio to rival the Beaux Arts, or better, carry on its tradition. --Rad Bennett, ClassicsToday.com | |||||
