Sylvan Trio: Music for Flute, Cello & Piano By Women Composers
“Three fine musicians, and three fascinating people.” — Fred Child, Performance Today
The Sylvan Trio (flutist Suzanne Bona, cellist Josh Aerie, and pianist Greg Kostraba) presents a recording of music by women composers spanning three centuries. Enjoy a Flute Sonata by a Princess, plus trios by one of the 19th-century’s greatest pianists and a trailblazing composer whose music caused quite a stir in fashionable Parisian salons. The recording also features works for flute and piano, including a Nocturne, Five Bagatelles, and a Reflective Rag.
