The Van Baerle Trio play Brahms, and Quatuor Ébène play Dubugnon's arrangements of Bach.

The Van Baerle Trio perform Brahms's Piano Trio No 2 in C, and Quatuor Ébène play Dubugnon's Secular Suite for String Quartet, at the Queen's Hall in Edinburgh.

The Amsterdam-based Van Baerle Trio opens this third programme in the series.  The chamber group was established nearly twenty years ago when its members were students at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam.  We hear a work that Brahms was pleased with, his Piano Trio in C about which he wrote to his publisher, “you have not yet had such a beautiful trio from me”.  To follow, the Quatuor Ébène performs music by Swiss composer Richard Dubugnon, his revealing string quartet arrangements of music by J.S. Bach. 

Recorded at the Queens Hall with presentation by Stephen Broad.
