The Station Trio
Frank Thomas (Violin), Ronald Harding (Violoncello), Hubert Pengelly (Pianoforte)

Trio in D, Op. 70, No. 1 Finale
Trio in E Flat, Op. 70, No. 2
First Movement

This bold and vigorous movement seems at first, to hesitate more than once before really getting under way, but when it once begins in earnest, it flows along with irresistible force and energy, with good humour and occasional hints of tenderness blended with its sturdy vigour.

Trio in E Flat, Op. 70, No. 2
First Movement

The E Flat Trio begins with a short introduction, quiet and contemplative; it leads straight into the swiftly moving main first movement, buoyant and strong. Just before the end, a little reminder of the slow introduction interrupts its flow for a moment, but apart from that, the short movement is full of bright spirits.
