Josef Bohuslav Foerster (1859 - 1951) enriched the development of Czech chamber music in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by a large number of works, including three piano trios: in F minor, Op. 8 (1883); B flat major, Op. 38 (1894); and A minor, Op. 105 (1921). Their music reflects the process of the composer's maturing, and echoes major inspirational impulses of the time (Foerster's circle of friends included Gustav Mahler). Foerster's compositions, not excepting the piano trios, are built on solid philosophical foundations, attesting to his integrity as an artist and as a man. On the whole, they furnish a most valuable evidence of the development of Czech music within a broader international context. This its the first complete presentation of Foerster's piano trios on CD.
