WILLIAM BOLCOM (b.1938): Trio for Horn, Violin and Piano, Suite No. 2 for Solo Violin.

Description: Commissioned to expand upon the under-represented horn trio repertoire, Bolcom has written a modern counterpart to Brahms’ Trio for Horn, Violin and Piano, Op. 40, in which he incorporates multiple styles into a substantial composition. The Suite No. 2 for Solo Violin is by turns frenzied, melancholic and light-hearted. Bolcom states, “Both works are performed beautifully and well recorded. Bravi tutti!”. Steven Gross (horn), Philip Ficsor (violin), Constantine Finehouse (piano).
