Artists
Delta Piano TrioAbout
The Trio have chosen works by Frank Martin, Tigran Mansurian and Antonín Dvořák which span almost a century, are from very different cultures, but which are all based on folk tunes.
Quite often, a work becomes a journey of discovery towards a certain origin, translated into sound. Martin, Mansurian and Dvořák composed three such colourful works for piano trio – voyages of discovery taken here by the Delta Piano Trio through scintillating sound worlds.
When an Irish-American benefactor asked him to write a work based on Irish folk songs, Martin grasped this as an exquisite opportunity to combine two of the quests occupying him at the time – music from distant cultures and rhythm. His Trio sur des mélodies populaires irlandaises (1925) is a complex, mature and multi-layered score.
The Armenian composer Tigran Mansurian (b. 1939) gives the term a deeper meaning with the idea behind his 5 Bagatelles (1985): the smallest things can have the greatest significance in life. Each bagatelle sounds like a moment when truth opens up; crystal clear while at the same time beyond our comprehension.
"...powerful and convincing...the Delta Piano Trio delivers strongly characterized performances..." – BBC Music Magazine
"The music broods, it dances, it leaps exuberantly – all in the space of moments. Just like the best performances of this work that I've heard, this performance has emotional depth, perfect ensemble, brilliant transitions. I give the Delta Piano Trio high praise for this performance. They've earned it...Highly Recommended." – Paul Rushton, Positive Feedback
