As a piano trio, we find it particularly interesting to discover music that is seldom recorded or performed. We enjoy the artistic challenge of interpreting such works using our own individual approach and it enables us to offer interesting and diverse programming. The idea of uncovering and recording lesser known pieces for our first album led us to include a wonderful early work by George Enescu, his Trio No. 1, along with the youthful Benjamin Britten's Introduction and Allegro. Finding our own voice with these scores, free from preconceived musical ideas or influences, is a process that inspires us. It is an exploration that we regard as an invaluable experience. Both Enescu and Britten found inspiration through Ravel's music and this in turn led us to his Piano Trio in A minor, hailed as one of the great masterworks of the 20th century... (Amatis Trio)
