Live from London's Wigmore Hall, piano trios by Shostakovich and Brahms.

Former Radio 3 New Generation Artists, the Amatis Trio, perform Shostakovich's and Brahms's first piano trios.

Established in Amsterdam in 2014, the Amatis Trio - former Radio 3 New Generation Artists - perform two works by composers writing in their youth. Shostakovich was 16 and still a student at the St Petersburg Conservatoire when he composed his First Piano Trio. Brahms was barely out of his teens when he turned his attention to this combination of instruments, resulting in a remarkably mature work.
