Louise Farrenc: Piano Trio/Sextet (CPO Audio CD)

Linos Ensemble

CPO follows its discs of Louise Farrenc’s symphonies and piano music with this new release of chamber music.

Farrenc’s Piano Trios are full of dynamic energy. The Third Piano Trio interestingly replaces the violin with a clarinet and flute, and was praised by the contemporary music press for its “perfection of form, charm and elegance”.
