Kinsky Trio Prague: Lucie Sedláková Hůlová violin, Martin Sedlák cello, Jaroslava Pěchočová piano
Martinů wrote no fewer than ten scores for trios with piano, including four in the classic formation of piano, violin and cello, written between 1930 and 1951. The Cinq pieces breves resuscitate a polymelodicism worthy of a Renaissance instrumental madrigal, whereas the charming Bergerettes form a modest pastoral work of French and Czech origin in the spirit of the cantata Kytice. The Trio No. 2 pays homage to Fauré, whereas Trio No. 3 prefigures the expressive power of the Fantaisies symphoniques (Symphony No. 6), sketched out in New York beginning in May 1951. The Kinsky Trio is the heir to the famed Czech chamber groups, from the Suk Trio, Vlach Quartet and ensembles still active, such as the Guarneri Trio Prague, Kocian, Pražák and Zemlinsky quartets, international representatives of the present-day Central European school.
