Trio Khaldei always tries to break the boundaries of the pure trio repertoire and has a penchant for arrangements of works from the great symphonic repertoire.

Sally Beamish’s arrangement of Debussy’s La Mer is an excellent example. Her reorchestration is not a bland copy of the original but a perfect adaptation of Debussy’s work to the piano trio’s scoring. Over-familiar music reduced to its pure essence: clenched, colourful, intimate.

Maurice Ravel wrote his magisterial piano trio in 1914 and finished it in record time because he had been called up to the front. Drawing inspiration from Basque rhythms, a Malay poetry form and seeking out the extremes of each instrument made for an unparalleled, innovative masterpiece.

Trio Khaldei is a champion of Belgian music and, alongside the two French icons, is programming a kindred spirit from right here with us: Frits Celis. His Trio op. 5 from 1958 is characterised by a strong rhythmic drive, a clear sense of structure but, above all, a beautiful, extensive colour palette.
