The Monte Piano Trio perform Piano Trios by Beach, Klouda and Clara Schumann

The enigmatic, impressionistic opening of Amy Beach’s 1938 Piano Trio in A minor promises much: Fauré hovers in the air, but his ghost is rapidly dispelled in the violin’s soupy first melody, and laid to rest in thunderous piano scales that seem ludicrously inappropriate in this whimsical context. It’s as if she toyed with something dangerously Continental but lost heart and fell back on the crutch of virtuosic noise.
