Piano Trios by Novak and Smetana, performed by the Atos Trio in Cedars Hall, Somerset.

Fiona Talkington presents music performed by the Atos Trio. Novak: Piano Trio No 2 in D minor, Op 27 'Trio quasi una ballata'. Smetana: Piano Trio in G minor, Op 15.

A brand new concert hall, Cedars Hall at Wells Cathedral School in Somerset, is the venue for Radio 3's Big Chamber Weekend. The Atos Trio of Berlin, former Radio 3 New Generation Artists, present a specially curated series in partnership with Radio 3 and Cedars Hall. Across the next four days the trio explore four major European musical centres, Paris, Vienna, St Petersburg and Prague, where the search for a Czech identity was flourishing from the 1860s. 

In today's recital the Atos Trio pair two contrasting Czech piano trios. Vitezslav Novak was a significant voice in turn of the century Prague, his style likened to Brahms, while Smetana poured his emotion into his second piano Trio at a time of great personal loss. 
Presented by Fiona Talkington.
