About

Haydn worked during a period that witnessed a great deal of stylistic change, including the evolution of keyboard instruments from the harpsichord to the pianoforte with its hammer action and greater dynamic flexibility. These rarely heard but influential early Piano Trios include music originally conceived for piano solo or baryton trio. The Trio in F minor is unusual for its elaborate ornamentation and darker key, and is highly attractive in its youthful freshness. The acclaimed Aquinas Piano Trio brings these unjustly neglected works vividly to life.

Our edition of Haydn’s Keyboard Trios has already established itself as a market leader, with acclaim for the first three volumes with the Kungsbacka Trio indicating that they ‘need fear nothing in comparison’ (Gramophone) with any competitors, and were ‘the Haydn of choice’ for Fanfare.

With their first of two Haydn recordings for Naxos, the Aquinas Piano Trio has enthusiastically taken up the challenge of Haydn’s rarely recorded early trios, including works originally written as sonatas and with a variety of origins, including music arranged from earlier baryton trios or previously attributed to other composers.
