About

The acclaimed Lawson Trio release their much anticipated debut album, 'The Long Way Home'. The trio is fast emerging as one of the finest ensembles of its generation. Known for its enthusiastic championing of contemporary British composers, the Lawson Trio showcases on this first CD world premiere recordings and works written especially for them.

Compositions are The Long Way Home by David Knotts (b.1972), a lyrical tribute to the poetry of Sylvia Townsend Warner; The Dead Broke Blues Break by Camden Reeves (b.1974), a jazz-inspired piece recalling the sound world of pianist Thelonious Monk; the Piano Trio by Anthony Powers (b.1953), a soulful five-movement work based on folk song; A Fast Stomp by Mark-Anthony Turnage (b.1960), an energetic, unrelenting Scherzo and Trio; and, finally, Five Rackets for Trio Relay by Cheryl Frances-Hoad (b.1980), a witty double piano trio (thought to be the first of its kind) celebrating the 2012 London Olympics/Paralympics and also featuring three young musicians from Pro Corda.

The Lawson Trio has recently performed at the South Bank Centre, Kings Place, the Bath International Festival and in Aldeburgh, where they enjoyed a strings residency.

Lawson Trio:
- Annabelle Lawson (piano)
- Fenella Humphreys (violin)
