Trio Boccherini – Conversations a Trois – String Trios by Cras Ysaye [SACD]

Following a first release devoted to string trios by Hungarian composers (BIS-2107), the Trio Boccherini now presents a programme dedicated to works composed in France and Belgium during the first half of the 20th century. In a culture that so brilliantly cultivated the art of conversation, it is hardly surprising that early French string trios were often referred to as “Conversations a trois”.
