GIUSEPPE CAMBINI (1746-c.1825): String Trios Op. 2, Nos. 1-3, LUIGI CHERUBINI (1760-1842): String Trios No. 1 in G and No. 2 in C.

Description: Cherubini’s two short trios are fascinating in their seriousness of purpose and the appearance of a fugue in each. Then you find out that they’re actually vocal solfeggio exercises someone published in a version for string trio. The longer Cambinis (13-19 min.) are designed for Parisian amateur consumption, with galant touches but also not far from Haydn’s works in this genre. Trio Hegel.
