ATOS Trio: Ravel - Trio in a-minor (1914)

Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) - Piano Trio in a-minor (1914)

"I’ve written my trio. Now all I need are the themes."

Composed at the outset of World War I, Ravel finished this colorful and brilliantly scored trio in the time of five weeks only, working feverishly. Haunting colors, fantastic sound effects using each instrument to the fullest of its capabilities, profound depth of feeling combined with an impressively balanced form led this trio to immediate and lasting success.
