bright tide moving between nztrio
bright tide moving between is NZTrio’s first outing on Rattle Records, after Spark, its critically acclaimed 2005 debut on Trust. The album signals a maturing artistic focus as NZTrio keeps one foot proudly on the shores of Aotearoa, while taking its listeners on a journey out through the Pacific Rim.
Bright Tide’s thematic focus extends through a richly illustrated package, to provide a sensual aural and visual experience affirming that beauty is easily at home in contemporary classical music, right here, right now.
The album represents a distillation of the experience of some very finely honed live performances of the music, which NZTrio has performed since 2005.

The New Zealand Trio - Spark
The brightest new stars in the firmament of New Zealand chamber music, The New Zealand Trio here make their debut recording with a programme of works they have made their own in concerts throughout New Zealand and overseas. Over the last decade or so, a number of piano trios made up of outstanding individual musicians have formed and re-formed in New Zealand, and this particular instrumental combination has appealed to the country's leading composers, who have produced an exceedingly fine body of work in the genre. The members of the New Zealand Trio, each notable musicians in their own right, together make up a formidably powerful ensemble, and their performances in this recital showcase the vitality, beauty and sheer emotional impact of works by John Psathas, Gareth Farr, Penelope Axtens, Michael Norris, Maria Grenfell and Victoria Kelly.
