Tampa- The Kandinsky Trio's latest disc offers an intense but elegant portrait of music from Spain, Russia, the United States and China.

In residence at Roanoke College in Virginia, the group opens "Trios in Foreign Lands" (Brioso Recordings) with Joaquin Turina's evocative dawn-to-dusk "Circulo," continues with a spacious reading of Sergei Rachmaninoff's "Trio Elegiaque" and captures the edgy spirt of Henry Cowell's "Four Combinations" and Frank Bridge's neoclassic "Miniatures." Both serve as appetizers for Chien-Tai Chen's "In Foregin Lands," a love dialgue for violin and cello.
