Final (Animé) Live: The 6th International Joseph Joachim Chamber Music Competition: First Prize Winners Trio Gaspard play Ravel´s Piano Trio in A-Minor during their performance for the final round of the competition. Recorded 2012/10/11 at the Liszt School of Music, Weimar. Of the piano trio, Ravel famously remarked, My Trio is finished. I only need the themes for it suggesting that he had fastidiously mapped out the structure including its harmonic plan in an intentional quest to conquer the timehonored form within the equally traditional genre of the piano trio. What makes this trio such a masterpiece, besides its immediate sensual appeal, is the blending of both a skillfully crafted structure and the indescribably fresh voice of Ravel and a new musical era. The trio includes many wonderful details of construction and expression including novelties both exotic and presciently neoclassical. The trio opens with a movement marked modéré, a sonata whose dreamy themes in a modal cast spaciously float in a surprisingly placid sequence that is more suggestive than argumentative, dream rather than discourse. There are two clear themes. The first is rhythmic, brief and somewhat dark, the second delicate, lyrical and bright, both familiar as Ravel’s poetic language. The development focuses chiefly on the first, returns into the gentle dawn of the second and obliquely concludes with elements of both drawn into new harmonic reaches that feel resolved and fully realized in spite of the astonishingly spacious neutrality into which the music melts.
