With her solo work, pianist Sophie Agnel has achieved a poetic dimension that is unrivalled. Between delicate intimacy and eruptive exuberance, she unfolds a spectrum of tonal and emotional forms of expression that always remains surprising and suggestive. In her trio with bassist John Edwards and drummer Steve Noble, Agnel once again enters new spheres. Her sounds are mirrored, fragmented, exaggerated and multiplied. The three push each other in all directions at the same time, creating curious and rapidly changing sound vignettes: a marching band in a back alley, a monastery trio, carpenters on a business trip. It is the range of their music that impresses, and which is characterised by precision, humour and sincerity.
