Info for Fauré: Piano Trio - Schubert: Notturno in E-Flat - Brahms: Piano Trio No. 1 in B-Flat

The Trio Isimsiz have quickly established themselves as one of the most exciting young chamber ensembles on the present scene, with glowing reviews for their performances around the world. Their debut album of Brahms, Beethoven & Takemitsu also received rave reviews: “it’s hard to know how Trio Isimsiz could have bettered such artistry and distinctiveness” - The Strad; “dazzling technical mastery” - Gramophone; “et une revelation” - Diapason

For their second album the trio continue their survey of the Brahms trios with the first in its revised form. Late Faure, his solitary Trio and Schubert’s atmospheric Notturno complete this attractive programme.
