Brahms and Fauré: Trio Masterpieces

Former Artist-in-Residence, clarinettist Poppy Beddoe makes a blazing return to the festival she calls home, this time with rising stars South African pianist Roelof Temmingh and Belfast born cellist Angus McCall. The dynamic ensemble performs Fauré’s much loved Piano Trio, in this the 100th anniversary of his death, and showcases a masterpiece of chamber music, Brahms’s Clarinet Trio in A minor.

Brahms’s trio, composed in 1891, marks a significant moment in his rebirth as a composer having ‘retired’ just a year earlier before returning with renewed vigour. From tender, lyrical passages to energetic and impassioned themes, the Brahms trio transports the listener through the full range of emotions, making it a beloved favourite of chamber music enthusiasts everywhere.
