Four years ago, the Gould Piano Trio were named as rising stars, now they are one of the finest chamber music groups of the Nineties.
Founded by violinist Lucy Gould, this trio - including pianist Benjamin Frith and cellist Alice Neary - is obviously going places and is as much in demand overseas as at home.
The trio gave us two impressive accounts of works by Haydn and Dvorak.
If Haydn is known as the father of the string quartet, he was pretty hot on the piano trio, too.
His writing is always elegant and witty and he is one of the few composers who can be guaranteed to lift one's mood.
The second piece, Dvorak's Dumky Trio is, by turns, melancholy, lively, stern, rousing and happy.
The Goulds dazzled in their playing, producing not just a fine Middle-European sound but creating a constantly changing atmosphere.
