Neave Trio presents a program of piano trios celebrating three women composers in the early modern era. The album continues the Trio’s longstanding commitment to uplifting historically underrepresented voices in the chamber music repertoire. Written in 1846, Clara Schumann’s Piano Trio Op. 17 in G minor, is widely recognized as one of her finest chamber works, despite the composer’s characteristic self-doubt. Dora Pejačević’s Trio No. 2 in C Major, Op. 29 was composed in 1910, when she was 25. The Trio showcases her gift for lyrical melody, expressive dialogue between piano and strings, and richly textured writing, establishing her as one of the most original and compelling voices in early 20th-century European chamber music. Cécile Chaminade’s Piano Trio No. 2 in A minor, Op. 34, was published in 1887. With the composer at the piano for the trio’s premiere, the work became a staple of her performances throughout the 1890s. The success of this trio earned Chaminade widespread acclaim with contemporary reviewers praising her as one of the leading voices of the French school.
