Lincoln TrioAbout
Bacon’s Trio no.2 for Violin, Cello and Piano (1987) receives its world-premiere recording. Hailed by The New York Times as “a Composer Known for Echoing America,” Bacon infuses the six-movement trio with American influences including marches, folksong-like melodies, and jazz rhythms, validating Virgil Thomson’s assessment of Bacon’s music as “full of melody and variety; honest and skillful and beautiful.”
Sowerby’s Trio for violin, violoncello and pianoforte (1953) is “a work of tremendous integrity” that exhibits an “imposing structure, contrapuntal gymnastics, and a concern for instruments sounding as good as they can” (Classical Net). Sometimes virtuosic, sometimes reflective, the work is distinguished by an ever-evolving rhythmic and harmonic interplay between instruments.
The Chicago-based Lincoln Trio’s Cedille Records discography includes three critically acclaimed full-length albums. Most recently, Trios from Our Homelands, released in 2016, earned a Grammy nomination for Best Chamber Music/Small Ensemble Performance. Gramophone admired “the poetry of their playing.” The Observer praised the ensemble’s “shapely and impassioned performances.” The album received ClassicsToday.com’s highest rating, a 10/10 for artistic and sound quality. The group also performed on the Grammy-nominated Naxos recording of James Whitbourn’s Annelies.
Trios from the City of Big Shoulders was recorded by the Grammy Award-winning team of producer James Ginsburg and engineer Bill Maylone.
