GEORGE ONSLOW (1784-1853): Complete Piano Trios, Vols. 3 & 4 - in D Minor, Op. 20, in A Minor, Op. 3/1, in G Minor, Op. 3/3, in E Minor, Op. 14/1, in D, Op. 14/3 & in C Minor, Op. 26.

Description: The 20 years covered by the six trios here (1804-1824) are a conspectus of pre-Romanticism and early Romanticism, full of delightful melodies, catchy motifs and rhythmic energy, with some ravishing slow movements (and equally affecting trio sections of the generally bouncy minuets). No one could possibly listen to these works and not wonder how it is that they could have been so long ignored by posterity. 2 CDs. Trio Cascades.
