The Mithras Trio's second album on the Linn label presents early works by Sjostakovitsj, Korngold and Lisney and continues the "fascinating and eclectic" programming that The Guardian praised on their debut album Eros. Fountain of Youth focuses on the surprisingly large number of piano trios that composers wrote at the beginning of their careers and contains the world premiere recording of Petrichor by cellist and composer Joy Lisney. The work was commissioned by the Mithras Trio and premiered at Wigmore Hall in January 2023. The poetic title refers to the earthy smell that arises when rain falls on dry earth. Two early works by Sjostakovitsj and Korngold complete the album: Sjostakovitsj's first piano trio already shows echoes of his mature style, in which the grotesque and late romantic moments clash in a one-movement trio. And in Korngold's first published composition, the Piano Trio op. 1, the unmistakable style and extraordinary maturity of the young composer are clearly recognizable, despite the influences of Mahler, Strauss and Puccini.
