Each piece on this recording is a deeply personal statement from its composer. Dmitri Shostakovich’s Trio no. 2 is a compelling tale of human endurance and tragedy, which he experienced in his personal life and as a composer working under oppressive conditions in Soviet russia. Joan Tower’s Big Sky was inspired by childhood memories of horseback riding in the valley of la Paz, bolivia. For Antonin Dvorak, in no work does the influence of the pan-Slavic folk music of his native bohemia reach such heights as in his “Dumky” trio: six passionate and spirited dance movements in which exuberance and melancholy effortlessly intermingle.
