The recent Radio 3 Big Chamber Weekend at Snape Maltings brought together current members of the Radio 3 New Generation Artists scheme to celebrate the music of Schubert. In this second concert, the Amatis Piano Trio perform the second of Schubert's great piano trios, a giant of the repertoire that is both lyrically touching and ripe with emotional nuance. The slow movement features one of the most the haunting melodies Schubert ever wrote, said to have been taken from a melancholy Swedish folk tune but treated by the composer in a way that makes it truly his own.

Introduced by Petroc Trelawny.
