Dvorak's four piano trios are, alongside his far more numerous string quartets, among the most significant chamber works he wrote. After the first two trios of 1875/76, which give an early indication of the composer's creative intensity, the trios presented here, namely op. 65 (1883) and op. 90 (1890/91), show him to be a fully accomplished master of this genre. The underlying sentiment of the four-movement Trio op. 65 in F minor might be described as sombre, passionate and dramatic. This character is already evident in the opening idea, played by the strings in unison, a theme that then undergoes complex development and builds up to a first dramatic climax. The three musicians develop a beauty of sound that brings out the unique characteristics of piano, violin and cello. Carefully, with a gentle touch on the Steinway grand and subtle bowing in the strings, they explore the themes, build the dance-like elements in great arcs of tension... A delight, these Dvorakian Dumky movements, as played by the Mori Trio. Kolner Stadt-Anzeiger, January 15, 2018 www.moritrio.com
