Performer Biography
Martin Rummel, the cellist, was the youngest graduate ever from the Anton Bruckner Privatuniversität with a soloist's diploma and was the last pupil of William Pleeth.
Historical Context
The choice of flute instead of the more common violin in these piano trios may have been a concession to English taste, as the flute was popular among the aristocracy and bourgeoisie in England.
Performer Biography
Uwe Grodd, the flautist on this recording, won First Prize at the Cannes Classical Awards 2000 for Best Eighteenth Century Orchestral Recording with his CD of Symphonies by J.B. Vanhal.
Composition History
Joseph Haydn sold these trios to two different publishers simultaneously: John Bland in England and his 'house' publisher Artaria in Vienna.
Compositional Technique
The Trios in D major and G major follow classical sonata form, featuring an energetic first movement, a lyrical middle movement, and a witty final movement with surprising inventions.
