Before 1938 there were very few piano trios written by Australian composers and those that were composed in the early part of the twentieth century mostly received one performance, if that, and then were shelved. The three trios on this program were all performed directly after they were composed but have languished in library archives since then. The trio by the Adelaide-born Gladys Bruer was written in 1918 and performed in January 1919 in the Adelaide Town Hall by Hooper Brewster-Jones, Bertha Jones and Harold Parsons. The one movement聽Fantasy Trio聽by Dulcie Holland won the prestigious Cobbett Chamber Music award in England in 1938 but was only published and recorded in 2020. The three movement聽Trio Lamorna聽by Frank Hutchens was performed at the NSW Conservatorium in 1933 by Cyril Monk, Osric Fyfe and Hutchens himself. These trios have all recently been reborn 鈥 published and recorded - by Jeanell Carrigan, pianist in this performance.

Performer: Alexander Yau (piano)
Join pianist Alexander Yau in undertaking a journey to the period of German Romanticism - exploring the deeply heartfelt and passionate Rhapsodies of Brahms, and Schumann's first piano sonata which pulls the heart-strings of many listeners. This work was described as a 'long outcry' of Schumann's agony in his forced separation from his beloved Clara Wieck. To conclude the evening we go back in time to the great master Beethoven, who was worshipped deeply by both Brahms and Schumann, as Alexander performs the last of his piano sonatas; a great testament to music.
