Phoenix Piano Trio

Sholto Kynoch piano
Jonathan Stone violin
Christian Elliott cello

The Phoenix Piano Trio is established as one of today’s leading ensembles, bringing together three renowned players and praised for performances with a ‘musical narrative of tremendous, involving depth’. Acclaimed for their honest and insightful interpretations which span the entire genre, in 2019 the Trio released the first in a series of recordings capturing the intense musical output from Leipzig in the 1840s that connected composers such as Mendelssohn, Brahms, the Schumanns and Niels Gade. Future plans include a return to Wigmore Hall and a complete Beethoven cycle in several venues. Their programme includes Haydn’s Piano Trio Hob XV No 9 in A major, composed by 1771 (and possibly dating as far back as ca. 1764-65) and Schumann’s effervescent and cheerful Piano Trio No 2 in F major.
