The award-winning Greenwich Trio, comprising Slovenian violinist Lana Trotovsek, Canadian cellist Heather Tuach and Japanese pianist Yoko Misumi, makes it's debut on Linn with a recording of Brahms Piano Trios. Pairing Op. 36 with Op. 87, this is the first instalment in a complete trios cycle. Although a string sextet in it's original Brahmsian guise, Op. 36 was brilliantly arranged for piano trio by Theodor Kirchner, a contemporary and friend of Johannes. The second of Brahms's three trios, Op. 87 is a mature work which sees the composer at the height of his compositional writing. It's highly Romantic leaning combined with it's Classical structure calls for the sort of sharp skills the Greenwich Trio has in abundance. Having delighted audiences throughout Europe (Amsterdam's Concertgebouw, London's Kings Place, Rheingau Musik Festival, among others) this debut is eagerly-awaited.
