Lysander Piano Trio Mirrors - 21st Century American Piano Trios CD

 

 

 

Celebrating Lysander Piano Trio's 10th anniversary in 2020, they present their FHR début with a new album featuring première recordings of new American piano trios commissioned or premièred by the ensemble. The works included on this album, with their richness of styles and origins, provide an exciting and optimistic glimpse into music being written for piano trio today. Of particular note is 'Love Sweet' written by Grammy Award winning composer Jennifer Higdon and featuring the brilliant soprano Sarah Shafer. The Lysander Piano Trio has been praised by The Strad for it's "incredible ensemble, passionate playing, articulate and imaginative ideas and wide palette of colors" and by The Washington Post for "an uncommon degree of heart-on-the-sleeve emotional frankness.
