This French ensemble is celebrated for its technical brilliance and emotional depth. Their performance of Tchaikovsky and Shostakovich offered a striking contrast. Opening with Tchaikovsky's Piano Trio in A Minor, the trio delivered a performance full of sensitivity and lyrical elegance. In contrast, Shostakovich’s Piano Trio No. 2 brought a brooding intensity, which the trio expertly balanced, weaving dissonance with moments of unexpected lyricism and haunting beauty.
