Trillium Ensemble Plays Brahms by Esmail, Fauré, Brahms, Nuo (2024/2024), Symphony Center Chicago, Chicago, United States

Brahms engaged the horn in only one chamber-music work. The Trillium Ensemble presents his Horn, Violin and Piano Trio, where the horn takes center stage and summons both its lyrical and dramatic sides. Included in the program is Fauré’s Piano Trio in D Minor — one of the composer’s last works, which features charming and elegant themes — and Reena Esmail’s Saans (Breath), a work infused with elements of North Indian classical music.
