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.
