About "Trio pour piano, hautbois et basson, Op.43: Andante (1926)" by Alexandre Gattet
The Andante from Poulenc's 1926 trio is a slow dance of unexpected tenderness. Oboe and bassoon entwine like old friends reminiscing, piano casting soft, nostalgic shadows. Beneath the neoclassical surface, a wistful melancholy bloomsâGattet's ensemble lets the lyricism breathe without sentimentality.
