Hermitage Piano Trio -
Spanish Impressions

Hermitage Piano Trio is thrilled to announce their next album for Reference Recordings, titled Spanish Impressions.  It follows their debut album Rachmaninoff, which was nominated for three 2020 GRAMMY® Awards

In Spanish Impressions, the trio explores the rich and diverse musical heritage of Spain, from the folkloric dances of Arbós’s Tres Piezas Originales en Estilo Español, Op. 1, to the lyrical and expressive Piano Trio No. 2 in B minor, Op. 76 by Turina, who composed it after the death of his daughter. The album also showcases the virtuosic and passionate Piano Trio in C Major by Cassadó, a renowned cellist who infused his music with Spanish and Catalan elements, and the Tres Impresiones by Perelló, a violinist who dedicated his work to his friends and colleagues in the Trio Barcelona.

All four composers are interconnected through their relationships with each other. Cassadó was a celebrated conductor who also orchestrated Albeniz’s Iberia, and Perelló was a violinist who studied with Albeniz and performed with Granados—both of these gentlemen had close ties to Turina (Arbós conducted many of his works) and Cassadó (a celebrated cellist, and next to Casals, among the greatest cellists of Spain).

The album was recorded in April 2023 by RR’s own GRAMMY® winning and multi¬ nominated engineering team at legendary Skywalker Sound in California.
