[Alan Howe]

Wow! Very nice indeed - and yet another cpo release to appear as if out of nowhere!

Looking forward to this, thank you

[Gareth Vaughan]

So am I. I hope they get round to recording some of his symphonies and piano concertos. But these trios will, I am sure, be most attractive.

[Alan Howe]

Agreed, Gareth. We need urgently commercial recordings of some of Moór's symphonies (and some of Thieriot's too).

[Alan Howe]

This is a 2-CD set, by the way.

[Alan Howe]

And judging by the excerpts, these are all gorgeous works in a highly melodic post-Brahmsian idiom.

I'm really looking forward to this. Thank you for the notice. It's pleasing to see that more of Moór is becoming available.

[Alan Howe]

Wow. This is superb. CD1 starts with Piano Trio in C major, Op.81 (the only one in three movements and probably from 1908) in which, according to the liner notes, solemn and noble melodies predominate while the largely meditative slow movement increases the depth of feeling of the music still further. The finale brings this fabulous work to a triumphant close.

Incidentally, before I come to the other two works, there is obviously contradictory information concerning Moór's Op.74. This new set assigns his Piano Trio in D major that opus number, while this catalogue...

....has a Piano Trio in E major as Op.74a.Hmm...

Also, even more contradictory still, Op.74 is assigned a violin sonata (#7?) in A minor by the Stiftung, not a piano trio...
