A Few of my Favorite Things

These tracks are taken from a solo CD which includes other works by Bach, Mozart, Glinka-Balakirev, Mompou and Bartók. Annabelle has a particular interest in music of Hispanic origin and spent a fourth, undergraduate year at King’s College, Cambridge, researching the social role of Argentine tango in Paris, in the years immediately preceding World War One.

Although the Liszt may need no introduction, the Danza del gaucho matrero (which roughly translates as ‘Dance of the Macho Cowboy’) is the last of three ‘Argentine Dances’ by the Argentine composer Alberto Ginastera, written in 1937.

Lawson Trio: The Long Way Home

‘The Long Way Home’ is the Lawson Trio’s début CD, featuring première recordings of their commissions. Anthony Powers’ work was written as a generous and treasured gift to the Trio and this movement, ‘Ratcliffe Highway’, is inspired by an old English folk-song depicting nautical low-life in London’s dockland. ‘Sailing’ is from Cheryl Frances-Hoad’s double piano trio, commissioned by the Lawson Trio and Chamber Music 2000 to mark the 2012 London Olympics. The piece is scored for combined amateur and professional trios. It is performed here by the Lawson Trio and students from Pro Corda.
