- Bilingual booklet in English and Italian contains notes on the composers and their works as well as a biography of the ensemble

- This CD presents Piano Trios by three renowned composers from 20th century Italy: Franco Margola, Giorgio Federico Ghedini and Vittorio Rieti.

- Although initially oriented towards Ildebrando Pizzetti’s style, Margola was profoundly influenced by Alfredo Casella, whom he met when he was still a student of composition. His Piano Trio is characterized by drama and darkness, with moments of great expression but also of strong vitality.

- In Due Intermezzi, composed at the age of 23, Ghedini’s signature sublime mastery in counterpoint and use of forms is already evident and accomplished; the two intermezzi are distinguished by their different characters: the first one is denoted as “tranquillo” (calm), mainly pervaded by an intimate atmosphere giving in to momentary expressive outbursts, whereas the second one is marked by a buoyant spirit and irony.

- Unlike Margola and Ghedini, who spent their whole professional lives in Italy, the advent of Mussolini’s fascism forced Vittorio Rieti, who was of Jewish origins and whose music was considered not in line with the regime, to emigrate first to Paris and then to the United States.

- Mythos Trio, founded in Rome when the member musicians were in their post-graduate studies at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia, debuted in March 2012 at the prestigious Academic Hall of Conservatorio “S. Cecilia”. Since then, they built an impressive career, performing on many international stages.
