This recital is to be given by Joë Christophe (clarinet), Nil Kocamangil (cello) and Vincent Mussat (piano). Their programme will consist of three items: the Piano Trio in D minor, a late work by Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) that was first performed in May 1923 in honour of the composer’s birthday, three years after he had retired from his post as Director of the Paris Conservatoire; the (also three-movement) Trio for Clarinet, Cello and Piano, a piece by the Italian composer Nino Rota (1911-79) that dates from 1973; and the four-movement Clarinet Trio in A minor by Johannes Brahms (1833-97), written in the Austrian spa town of Bad Ischl in the summer of 1891. The Brahms trio is one of the very few works for this combination of instruments to have entered the standard repertoire.
