Trio Ismena is violinist Monika Malmquist, cellist Ida Nørholm, and pianist Christine Raft. They play these works expertly and, in fact, several of the composers dedicated their work specifically to them. Don’t wait for the next blizzard to acquaint yourself with them, or with these recent trios, modest in content and proportions, but grand in their integrity.
