Donald Francis Tovey (1875–1940) has long been known as one of the finest writers on music in English – but he saw himself primarily as a composer. His Symphony, Op. 32, and Cello Concerto, Op. 40, already released in this Toccata Classics survey of Tovey’s music, alerted modern listeners to a major voice in British orchestral music. These two trios, lyrical and intense, from the start of Tovey’s career, present him in his first love: chamber music.

London Piano Trio, piano trio
Robert Atchison, violin
Bozidar Vukotic, cello

4 reviews for Donald Francis Tovey: Chamber Music, Volume One

  1. :

    ‘This issue is highly recommended and augurs well for further releases in this series, which I look forward to hearing with eager anticipation.’

    —Peter Joelson, Classical Source

  2. :

    ‘The London Piano Trio audibly believe in every note, and their dedicated performances are set within a bold sound frame that’s somewhat tiring on the ear. The presentation is copiously detailed, as ever from this source. Inquisitive collectors can safely investigate.’

    Gramophone Magazine

  3. :

    ‘This is a composer you need to discover if the references above already appeal to you.’

    —Rob Barnett, MusicWeb International

  4. :

    ‘The performances by the London Piano Trio are thoroughly convincing in every way and the recording in Potton Hall is pretty good, […] this is self-recommending for the new generation of Tovey admirers.’

    —Jonathan Woolf, MusicWeb International
