Vienna to Budapest features compositions by hugely contrasting personalities who also share many common elements. We hear Johannes Brahms’ second piano trio which, like many of his other works, was influenced by Hungarian folk-music and language.

We also hear two lesser-known pieces from the 20th century: Sándor Veress’ Tre Quadri (Three Paintings), based on three 17th-century paintings, and László Lajtha’s long-neglected piano trio, deservingly receiving a renaissance here.
