Gramophone Award Finalist - Baroque Instrumental 2009
Retrospect Trio is shortlisted in the 'Baroque Instrumental' category for their debut album "Henry Purcell: Ten Sonatas in Four Parts", which marks the 350th birthday of Henry Purcell. The Trio, which is an exciting new chamber group formed under the umbrella of the larger Retrospect brand, has received rave reviews since its launch. The recording, in addition to this Award nomination, was also named Editor’s Choice by Gramophone magazine. Each member of the group is a distinguished international performer in their own right with a shared passion for historically-informed music making. They are Sophie Gent and Matthew Truscott on violin, Jonathan Manson on bass viol and Mathew Halls on organ and harpsichord. The Classic FM Gramophone Awards nomination is further proof that Retrospect is a name to watch. As BBC Music Magazine stated, the next disc in the highly anticipated Retrospect Ensemble series is already “a mouthwatering matter of urgency”.
