Horn Trio in E flat major, Op 40

Experience Classical

Available for over a year

In specifying the use of a natural horn, Brahms confirmed the nostalgic mood his horn trio should have, dreaming for a simpler time. The mellow tone the instrument produces suggests a life outdoors. Brahms understood this, writing an energetic and exciting final movement – a hunting finale. Composer: Johannes Brahms Performer: Alec Frank-Gemmill (Horn) Performer: Pavel Kolesnikov (Piano) Performer: Stephanie Gonley (Violin) Recording date: 27 October 2016 Date of broadcast: 09 December 2016
