Dvořák’s chamber music is amongst the most extensive and significant of the 19th-century and the four surviving piano trios embody his command of the form. The first two were written in rapid succession, with no.1 in B flat major marrying Schubertian lyricism with Slavic inflexions, serenity with joy. No.2 in G minor is rather more classically conceived though it shares the same formal structure as no.1 and exudes a similar quotient of lyric beauty.

Trio des Alpes, founded in 2010, is formed by three musicians with strong personalities who aim for the ultimate goal of chamber music performance: to harmoniously blend three voices in a single sound. Their first album on Dynamic, released in 2015, features works by Beach, Boulanger and Clarke. They also recorded Dvořák’s complete piano trios, in co-production with RSI. The first volume, which includes the trios op.65 and op.90, received a 5-star rating from MUSICA magazine.
