Trio in A minor, Op.40 (2nd mvt) [for clarinet, cello and piano]
Performers: Michael Collins, Steven Isserlis and Stephen Hough.

His early piano works are salon pieces, while his Piano Quintet, Op. 30 and Clarinet Trio, Op. 40 are more substantial, written in the Romantic tradition. In 2009, his Piano Quintet was reprinted by Edition Silvertrust. Much of his music is lost or has yet to be uncovered. Steven Isserlis, the cellist, has championed his music, some of which he has rediscovered and performed. - Wikipedia

I had never heard of this composer before Sunday, when Martin introduced and played this movement from his trio for clarinet, cello and piano. A great deal of his work is lost; he 'died in poverty' in Vienna in 1937.

Steven Isserlis is championing him, and the starry line-up here attests to other significant admirers.

I'm sure I have a symphony by him on CD - I described it as cheerful and stuffed with good tunes on another message board years ago.

Edit: I remembered incorrectly, the symphony is by Frohlich - apologies for the error!
