Arno Babadjanian:
Piano trio in f sharp minor

Dmitri Schostakovich:
Piano Trio No. 2 in E minor, Op. 67

The Ares Trio here combines two requiems in the form of piano trios by two composers whose active periods fell during those of the Soviet Union and who were harassed by the cultural bureaucracy there. Shostakovich composed his Trio Op.67 in memory of his friend Iván Sollertinski, while Shostakovich's contemporary Arno Babadjanian wrote his Trio quasi as a requiem for himself.
