Lawrence Power is joined by two distinguished colleagues for a magical evening of chamber music. The programme combines works for duo with two major piano trios including Brahms鈥� work which was inspired by the clarinettist Richard M眉hlfeld. The composer prepared a viola part as a possible alternative instrumentation, and both scorings were rehearsed (the viola part being played by Joseph Joachim) prior to the premiere and publication of the piece. The second half takes Jewish Song as the connective strand, concluding with Shostakovich鈥檚 heartfelt Trio, completed in 1944 in memory of one of the composer鈥檚 closest friends, Ivan Sollertinsky.
