At the heart of this album from the Gould Piano Trio is Schubert’s Piano Trio in E-flat major, D. 929, a late masterpiece of emotional depth and formal ingenuity. Heard here in its complete version, the finale restores the haunting B minor passage, its circling piano figures echoing Der Leiermann, while the Andante’s cello theme weaves through the work like a recurring memory.

Alongside it is the youthful Piano Trio in B-flat major, D. 28 – fresh, lyrical, and full of promise, whilst Schubert Dances – a charming new suite of waltzes, Ländler and Deutscher arranged for piano trio by Brian Newbould, completes the programme and showcases Schubert’s lighter side.

Together, these works chart a compelling path from teenage inspiration to late-style mastery.
