Unlike Ravel’s minor masterpiece Pavane pour une infante défunte (1899) arranged and performed by Cremeloque Trio, Terzetto, by Casimir Lalliet (1837-92) is not well known; its airing here welcome. The Trio (1926) by Francis Poulenc abounds in allusions to 18th c. Classicism. Rachmaninoff‘s early Elegiac Trio in G minor (1892) comes as a kind of romantic and melancholic closure of this CD. Originally written for piano, violin and cello, the Cremeloque Trio again open the discussion about possibilities of re-arranging existing music for oboe-bassoon-piano formation.
