BASIL & ELISE GOULANDRIS FOUNDATION

On the occasion of his mother's death, Brahms explored the rear sound combination of violin with French horn and piano, composing this trio that now occupies a major position within his rich work for chamber music ensembles. A bit more than a century after, Ligeti, who was very little engaged in small chamber music ensembles, wrote a "Hommage to Brams" Trio, precisely to accompany the German composer's work in concert programmes.
