Piano Trio in F minor, Op. 65 played by Eda Kersey (violin), James Whitehead (cello), and Kathleen Long (piano)
Dvorak 's Trio in F minor, written in 1883, is a wholesome corrective to the popular view of him as a merely lyrical, colourful. ' nationalist composer. As Ottokar Sourek Jsays , it is a magnificent work, unusually grave in character ; the music unfolds itself in a kind of gloomy, passionate defiance. It is as though the composer confronted Fate with a stubborn and persistent—Why ? Not until the very-end of the work does the prevailing sense of gloom make way for a feeling of peace and resignation. Hence the passion and power which permeate the work in thought, structure, and formal development ; hence the tendency to a symphonic grandeur which can only be realised in chamber music by the sonority and expressive co-operation of the piano '.
