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.
