Joyful, dramatic, intense or light-hearted, the keyboard trio occupies a significant place in the output of Joseph Haydn. Some 40 years separate his Trio in G minor from the Trio Op.22 of Johann Nepomuk Hummel, that remarkable virtuoso whose melodic gift won him the admiration of Mendelssohn. These works testify to the continuous development of a form that evolved in parallel to the sonata. They also allow us to bring together two composers who were in regular contact at the court of the Esterházy princes.

"Trio Chausson's interpretation...abounds in harmonic pointing and expressive detail, the brighter lights of the exposition running into a sombre development with a dark-hued fugato...Never trivial, de Larochelambert weights both individual notes and chords with care, his colleagues matching his rhythmic patterns...An outstanding disc." (Editor's Choice Gramophone March 2015)
