With the London Piano Trio — Robert Atchison (violin) and David Jones (cello) — Jacqueline Hartley (violin) and Elisa Bergersen (viola)
Simon Callaghan appears as guest pianist with the London Piano Trio in a programme of American chamber music by two closely connected composers. Three works by Arnold Rosner — the Second Piano Quintet, the Second Violin Sonata and the Sixth String Quartet — sit alongside two by Carson Cooman, a friend and colleague who has curated Rosner's music since his death: the title work and Cooman's Third Violin Sonata. Released on Convivium Records.
The chamber music on this album is unified with a focus on string scorings and a connection between me and the late Arnold Rosner, a friend and colleague whose works it has been a privilege to be involved in curating. From the deeply dark intensity of Rosner's 6th quartet to the luminous passion of my piano trio, I hope that the wide variety of emotional moods explored in this collection of pieces may provide for an enriching listening experience.
