Author: Geoffrey Norris
The Second Trio of 1892 is larger in both scale and expressive gesture. The E minor key seems to provoke more searching thoughts and Saint-Saëns spreads his ideas over five movements rather than four. Contrast and cohesion nevertheless coalesce in the working-out of material, and again the Aquinas Trio are spot-on in interpretative instinct.
