A Trio of Delights
From Wigmore Hall in London, music for piano trio by Shostakovich, Rachmaninov and Mendelssohn, performed by Benjamin Beilman, Narek Hakhnazaryan and Louis Schwizgebel
Live from Wigmore Hall in London, music for piano trio by Shostakovich, Rachmaninov and Mendelssohn, performed by violinist Benjamin Beilman, cellist Narek Hakhnazaryan and pianist Louis Schwizgebel. Mendelssohn's brilliant First Piano Trio was hailed by Schumann as 'the master trio of our age' when it appeared in 1839; its third movement is a featherlight scherzo summoning the magical world of Mendelssohn's music for A Midsummer Night's Dream. Shostakovich composed his own First Trio when he was 16; it is cast in a single movement, but contains an almost cinematic wealth of contrasts
Introduced by Andrew McGregor.
