Trio in D minor (Op. 32) played by the Bronkhurst Trio:
John Fry (violin)
Vera Canning (cello)
Henry Bronkhurst (piano)
Arensky (born at Novgorod in 1861) studied at the St. Petersburg Conservatoire where Rimsky-Korsakov taught him composition. He was appointed professor of harmony and counterpoint at the Moscow Conservatoire, and later became director to the Court Chapel at Petersburg. As a composer he has more in common with Tchaikovsky than with his teacher Rimsky-Korsakov.
The Trio in D minor is dedicated to the memory of the great cellist Charles Davidov. The work is full of sincere elegiac feeling and of fresh spontaneous melody.
