The D minor piano trio (1840), one of the most popular of Felix Mendelssohns chamber works, unites the composers gift for melody with his textural and formal mastery. The intensely emotional first movement of the Piano Trio in c (1845) is followed by a blissful Andante espressivo and a shimmering, truly Mendelssohnian Scherzo. The Finale returns to the passionate mood of the opening with hymn-like allusions appearing to lend the movement an air of sacred celebration. The young Sitkovetsky Trio made their début on disc in 2014 with recordings of trios by Dvoák and Smetana, to critical acclaim.
