The combination of flute, viola and harp was not first imagined by Debussy, but his colourful, playful Sonata of 1915 (a staple for the ensemble) did make it a more popular trio. Bax’s reflective Elegiac Trio dates from around the same time, while an arrangement of Ravel’s Sonatine for piano is another shining demonstration of this grouping’s unique sound.
