Trio for Piano, Violin & Horn, op. 40 / Trio for Piano, Clarinet & Cello, op. 114

Album by Johannes Brahms & Borodin Trio & Michael Thompson & James Campbell

This album pairs Johannes Brahms's Trio for Piano, Violin and Horn, Op. 40 (1865) with his Trio for Piano, Clarinet and Cello, Op. 114 (1891). Both pieces are chamber works rooted in the Romantic tradition, with Op. 40 showcasing a robust, classical-influenced dialogue between horn, violin and piano reflective of Brahms's middle-period style, and Op. 114 belonging to his late output, characterised by autumnal timbres, intimate textures and concise, lyrical chamber writing.
