Beethoven’s ‘Ghost’ Trio is a cornerstone of the piano trio repertoire, an imaginative work which pits heroic bravura alongside spooky beauty to make a dramatic whole. Ravel’s piano trio, meanwhile, is anchored in real life, a profound response to the First World War. A glowing miniature from Lili Boulanger and a compelling world premiere from Australian composer Melody Eötvös offer an intriguing counterpoint.
