Rob Keeley: Chamber Music

'The performance by the Aquinas Trio is superlative in every parameter, as indeed are the readings by the other performers here. Keeley is unquestionably a major composer of our time, and as such deserves the attention of any reader who is interested in current trends in composition. His unique voice will not disappoint' Fanfare Magazine

The spirits of Haydn and Chopin can be heard in the Second Piano Trio, and there is a wink towards Mozart in the wonderful blend and agility to be found in the Clarinet Quartet. All of these works are the result of musical friendships, the faith and commitment of the players an integral part of each performance, with the remarkable sonorities of Distil as its still centre.
