Ravel: Piano Trio/Brahms: Piano Trio: Streeton Trio

Have you ever heard of the Streeton Trio? I hadn’t until I saw the line-up for the 2011 Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition – and it turns out they’re the only Australians to make the cut this year. My attention was caught and I was very interested to hear their debut recording. With a limited release, this is an album worth seeking. Each musician is strong and independent in their style, with moments of great lyricism between the three of them. Featuring the Ravel Piano Trio in A Minor and the Brahms Piano Trio in B Major, this shows three mature young musicians out to make their mark.
