Review: Derby Chamber Music - Aquinas Piano Trio, Multi-Faith Centre, Derby University, 9.11.12
Mozart's
piano trios used to be even more neglected than Haydn's (at least
Haydn's 'Gypsy Rondo' Trio got an occasional airing). More
ensembles are starting to put that right. So it was good to welcome

the Aquinas Trio (with locally-born cellist Katherine Jenkinson) on
their latest visit to Derby Chamber Music, beginning the evening with
Mozart's B flat Trio, K502. Bright, open sonorities in the outer
movements were beautifully offset by the serene flow they brought to
the middle one.
Saint-Saëns's
Trio No 1 is a delightful work that ought to be better known. In the
first and last movements the performance was a fine blend of grace,
clarity and vitality, particularly in the music's teasing rhythmic
ambiguities. Delicacy and mystery in the second movement was
complemented by the spring and bounce the players brought to the
third, with a particularly deft handling of Saint-Saëns's
witty pay-off.
DvoÅák's
F minor Trio is one of his weightiest chamber works, the equivalent,
in expressive terms, at least, of his Seventh Symphony. With their
subtly graded dynamics and quiet intensity, the Aquinas Trio ensured
that its expressive power also had luminosity to contrast with the
vehemence. The contradictory rhythms in the second movement had real
clarity, and there was a strong sense of movement to the dance
impulse behind the finale.
