The wonderful Barbican Trio – Sophie Lockett (violin), Robert Max (cello) & James Kirby (piano) – present three classics of the piano trio repertoire.

Haydn’s late trio in E major, with its beautifully expressive middle movement in E minor, is followed by Brahms’s majestic C major trio composed in the early 1880s, as he completed the third symphony. Saint-Saëns’s dramatic and passionately melodic second trio, composed whilst he was in Algeria in 1892, completes their programme.
