Avant Trio: Rebecca Raimondi (violin), Urska Horvat (cello), Alessandro Viale (piano)
Benjamin Harris (speaker)
Peter Britton (percussion)

British composers Robin Holloway and Peter Seabourne have instantly recognisable, distinctive voices which readily communicate and place them apart from many of their contemporaries. Their piano trios, in quite different ways, are both masterworks worthy of a wide audience, combining beauty, energy, wit, elegance and passion. They are complemented by Holloway’s luminous “Moments of Vision”, described as a “song cycle for speaker”, written originally for Sir Peter Pears. Performances here by Avant Trio are brimming with colour and energy, and the exceptional recorded sound truly places the listener among the musicians. A disc of which the label is justifiably especially proud!
