About
In the course of their career, the Gryphon Trio has firmly established itself as one of the world’s preeminent piano trios. The Los Angeles Times wrote “This is a piano trio that plays with strength and unanimity… big, bold, almost orchestral performances.” To celebrate their 25th anniversary, the trio offers one of their career’s best recordings, the mesmerizing album The End of Flowers, which features works by the great composers Rebecca Clarke and Maurice Ravel, written at a time when World War I was on everyone’s mind.

Their pairing [of the Clarke] with almost-contemporary Ravel’s Piano Trio (1914) makes perfect sense: Clarke not only admired and absorbed Ravel’s style but performed with him. This spectacular work requires a balance of crystallin perfection and fiery flamboyance. I love the light touch the Gryphon Trio brings to the Moderato.

The Gryphon Trio negotiate the tricky balancing act of ensuring both stringed instruments are heard in their array of trills, harmonics and pizzicatos, while the piano acts as a spirited, binding force.
