Trio in E minor, Op. 90
(Dumky) played by the London Czech Trio:
Suzanne Rozsa (violin)
Karel Horttz (cello)
Lisa Marketta (piano)
For the last of his four piano trios, written in 1891, Dvorak abandoned the customary sonata-design, with its three or four movements, and wrote instead a delightfully individual work with a form of its own: a set of six short pieces each in the style of a Dumka. The Dumka is not a dance: the word, originally used to describe a certain type of Slavonic poem, has come to signify a musical form characterised by swift changes from melancholy to wild gaiety. Dvorak's Trio is remarkable for the brilliant way it rings the changes on this simple basic idea. Deryck Cooke

An old settler said to James W. Staple ton : ' The gate hangs well in Kenya. For those with initiative and courage it opens on oiled hinges..... '
In three talks Mr. Stapleton, an cx-R.A.F. pilot, describes how he left his job in a Midlands factory and with little money and no experience took his wife and children to 1,300 virgin acres in Kenya; and how in the end they created a farm and a new home.
