Beamish's arrangement [of La mer] for piano trio works very nicely, the two strings adding more variety ofcolour than a second keyboard. True, one misses the full orchestral power at the climaxes, but the trio format highlights details often lost in the wash of sound otherwise.

Composed in 2000 for piano trio and a narrator who recites Charles Harrison Wallace’s version of the eponymous Anglo-Saxon poem, Beamish’s The Seafarer is given an aptly atmospheric performance.
