Hugh Wood: Chamber Music
Catalogue Number: TOCC0075
Overture for Piano Trio, Op. 48
Paul Silverthorne, viola Hugh Wood, born in Lancashire in 1932, is one of Britain’s most distinguished composers, his music marrying expressionist power and lyrical elegance. Although Wood has a number of large-scale pieces to his credit, he prefers the intimacy of chamber music and these six works – ranging from his Op. 1, written in 1958, to Overture for Piano Trio of 2005 – expertly balance formal clarity, rigorous craftsmanship and a high charge of energy.
