  • Description

    AVIE continues its acclaimed series of recordings of the music of Hans Gal with the newly formed Briggs Piano Trio performing Gal's lyrical Piano Trio in E and his witty Variations on a Popular Viennese Tune, alongside Shostakovich's harrowing Piano Trio in E minor.



    This latest AVIE release brings together two of today's most eminent Gal interpreters, Sarah Beth Briggs and Kenneth Woods with violin virtuoso David Juritz, for a recording of Gal's breathtakingly lyrical Piano Trio in E major, Op.18 and his witty Variations on a Popular Viennese Tune, Op.9. Gal's music and destiny was shaped by war and political upheaval, as was that of Dmitri Shostakovich, whose Piano Trio in E minor, Op.67, one of the monuments of 20th century chamber music, is a harrowing souvenir of the times in which it was written.



    CRITICAL ACCLAIM
    "beautifully poised, enchanting accounts" – Gramophone, Critics' Choice 2016 (on Sarah Beth Briggs' and Kenneth Woods' recording of Hans Gál's Piano Concerto and Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 22, AV2358)



    "Briggs is an artist with prowess and personality … [her] infectious pianism is impossible to resist" – MusicWeb International



    "Woods holds his own against such wonders as Sawallisch, Celibidache, Giulini and immediately becomes a favourite for this delectable work." – Classical Source (on Woods' recording of Schumann's Symphony No. 3, AV2230)



    "Refreshingly spontaneous" – BBC Music Magazine (on David Juritz's Vivaldi Four Seasons)
