Elysian TrioUSA Isabella Yuan, ViolinDianne Seo, FluteJocelyn Chen, PianoFrom Orange County, California, the elysian trio consists of Dianne Seo (flute), Isabella Yuan (violin), and Jocelyn Chen (piano). They proudly represent Junior Chamber Music (JCM) as an honor group and share a passion for all music, and was selected to perform on their Prague, Vienna, and Budapest tour in 2018. The trio also won first prize at the 2018 Classical Alive National Young Artist Competition. The members' strong musical abilities have brought them to renown venues such as Carnegie Hall, Renee and Henry Segerstrom Hall, the Redlands Bowl and the Royal Albert Hall. They are currently all members of the Pacific Symphony Youth Orchestra, an elite group that has toured internationally. In addition, they served as concertmaster or principal musicians in their respective school orchestras and bands, as well as the Pacific Symphony Santiago strings and All-Southern Bands in California. Aside from music, they all share a commitment to community service, whether it be through a concert for senior citizens, teaching children to play music, or dancng at cultural events. They also share a love of cute puppies, chocolate chip cookies, and afternoon snacks. In their spare time, they like practicing on secondary instruments, enjoying outdoor activities, dress shopping and drawing. They would like to thank all their families, teachers, and peers for encouraging them to grow as musicians, academics, and people.

The two pieces chosen for this recording, Cantilena and Puccettino nella giungla show variously the extraordinary maturity and rich musicality of Rota at the height of his powers. The disarming simplicity of the melody in the Cantilena should not be mistaken for slightness of construction, for this elementary mechanism is anything but ingenuous. It not merely transcends facile comparisons and approaches, but reveals Rota's characteristic artlessness, often mistaken for vagueness and artistic irony, but actually concealing a wisdom and iron determination in the development of his craft. Puccettino nella giungla, more complex and slightly sulphurous, with its title from a children's fairy-tale of another era, ushers in the last and most substantial piece on the record: the Nonet for flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, horn, violin, viola, cello and double bass. 2ff7e9595c
