Neave Trio’s program features the only known piano trios by Debussy, Fauré and Roussel, which they recorded and recently released on their sophomore album, “French Moments” (Chandos Records), according to a press release.
According to BBC Music Magazine, “The performances balance passion with sensitivity and grace,” while The Strad praises the trio’s “eloquent phrasing and deft control of textures.”
Neave’s 2016 debut album, “American Moments,” was released to critical acclaim on Chandos Records, and features works by Korngold, Foote and Bernstein, according to the press release.
On Nov. 16, Neave Trio will release their next album, honoring the music of Astor Piazzolla. “Celebrating Piazzolla” (Azica Records) includes “Las Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas” and new arrangements by Leonardo Suárez Paz for piano trio and mezzo-soprano Carla Jablonski.
Since forming in 2010, Neave Trio has earned praise for its engaging, cutting-edge performances, according to the press release.
WQXR explains, ” ‘Neave’ is actually a Gaelic name meaning ‘bright’ and ‘radiant,’ both of which certainly apply to this trio’s music making.”
In the fall of 2017, the trio joined the faculty of the Longy School of Music of Bard College as an Alumni Artists, Faculty Ensemble-in-Residence. For more information, visit www.neavetrio.com
