collection of 20th Century piano trios, including two
never-before recorded pieces by Australian composers Sculthorpe
and Yu.

to perform new works and expand the piano trio repertoire in
'20th Century Piano Trios', featuring rarely heard piano trios by
renowned composers Copland and Shostakovich and three
never-before recorded pieces by Sculthorpe, Yu and Baran.

is based on a Jewish folk theme Copland heard in a play by
Ansky.
Shostakovich's 'Piano Trio op.8 No.1' discovered only in the last
ten years is relatively unknown in western piano trio
repertoire.
East meets West in Ilhan Baran's 'Dönüsümler (Transformations)' A
thrilling combination of folk and Western chamber music, Baran
creates a series of transformations utilising Turco-Ottoman modes
and a variety of rhythmic patterns found in different areas
around Turkey to create what he describes as "a kind of
atmospheric state of mind."
Receiving its debut recording and another brilliant addition to
this collection is the evocative piece, op. 26a written
specifically for Trio Melbourne by Australian composer Julian Yu.
This piece, intended to pay homage to Brahms, is based on his
first symphony however Yu has also been inspired by the
traditional Chinese instrumental folk technique of
ornamentation.

Sculthorpe for Trio Melbourne from his song of the same name,
provides a haunting conclusion to a most unique and valuable
collection!
