Morton Trio

Based on the Brahms Horn Trio, Op.40 in which a horn replaces the conventional cello, the Morton Trio are a very successful classical trio from Christchurch, New Zealand. As well as the Op.40 Brahm this album features an arrangement of the Brahms Piano Trio No. 1 in B Major; and an outstanding original composition by violinist Arna Morton. Infectious performances of these works, recorded at The Piano venue in Christchurch NZ, confirm the Morton Trio as a leading addition to the New Zealand classical chamber music scene.

This album was recorded at The Piano, a beautiful concert chamber in Christchurch NZ, built in 2016. It has a wonderfully rich, warm and just bright enough acoustic – and it’s quiet. A truly great venue for recording solo, small to medium sized ensembles. Can’t wait to go back and record there again. We are told the Morton Trio’s debut album was the first be recorded there.
