One of the most sought-after young chamber ensembles of its type, Trio Gaspard is praised for its unique and fresh approach to the score, one recent recording prompting The Times to conclude: ‘Kaleidoscopic textures and sprightly wit, wonderfully conveyed by Trio Gaspard... delightful listening’. It was founded in 2010, its members hailing from Germany, Greece, and the UK. They studied at the European Chamber Music Academy, in Vienna. Haydn’s music has been of central importance to their programming over the past fifteen years, and it is rare for them to perform a concert without one of his works.

Trio Gaspard writes: ‘Over this series of recordings, we present Haydn’s rich output for piano trio neither chronologically nor in the groups in which the works were first published. Instead, just like the preceding discs, Volume 5 is conceived as a programme of contrasting trios that can be heard in a single sitting. We also continue the series of contemporary works which we have commissioned to accompany our Haydn project and are delighted to present the world première recording of Helena Winkelman’s Threesome in a High-den.’
