Storytelling takes centre stage in the Fidelio Trio's second recording for Delphian, in which they are joined by Alexander McCall Smith, who narrates Sally Beamish's evocative the Seafarer Trio with a mingled intimacy and plangency. The comparatively abstract sounds of Nigel Osborne's the Piano Tuner track a journey into the dark heart of nineteenth-century Burma, while the stories told in Judith Weir's Zen-inspired Piano Trio Two include that of 'How grass and trees become enlightened'.
