Trio Arbós has been nothing if not assiduous in its coverage of the piano trio repertoire and its new disc rings the changes with a number of shorter works designed to be heard as a single recital. As the title suggests, most of them have already been recorded, yet they undeniably stand to benefit when heard in the present context.

Kenji Bunch sets things going with his rhapsodic evocation of things lived and dreamt, then Marjan Mozetich contributes a chamber concerto whose suavely expressive central ‘Arabesque’ is framed by two movements that progressively accrue and disperse rhythmic energy in like manner. Jorge Grundman conjures up a range of memories reticent and impulsive during the course of his work, while Elena Kats-Chernin pays homage to Haydn in an inventive miniature which reduces the essentials of symphonic form within its highly resourceful dimensions. Paul Schoenfield scored considerable success with his piece two decades ago and its breezy recollections of jazz, blues and ragtime seem tailor-made for a medium not without its ‘popular’ associations.

No self-respecting recital would be complete without its designated encore, which here comes courtesy of Chick Corea at his most engaging and unaffected. Vividly immediate sound, together with detailed booklet-notes, further enhance the attractions of a disc that reaffirms the credentials of Trio Arbós as among the most inclusive and forward-thinking of chamber ensembles: evidently this is a programme ideal for touring purposes, and hopefully the group will be bringing it over to London before too long.
