Schubert Plus performed by the Gould Piano Trio

Nicola Heywood Thomas presents Schubert Plus, performed by the Gould Piano Trio at St David鈥檚 Hall, Cardiff.

Nicola Heywood Thomas presents Schubert Plus, with music performed by the Gould Piano Trio, broadcast live from St David鈥檚 Hall in Cardiff. In the last of this week's programmes featuring some of Wales' leading musicians performing live from Cardiff, the music of Schubert combines with a premiere of a work by Russian composer Leokadiya Kashperova. The concert opens with Schubert鈥檚 single-movement Piano Trio in B flat, composed when Schubert had just started studying with Antonio Salieri, and closes with a trio that became known as a 'Nocturne', as it suited the mood of the piece. Performed between these two works is a piano trio by the Russian composer Leokadiya Kashperova. Primarily known as a pianist, she taught Igor Stravinsky. Music composed by Kashperova is only just coming to light, and this performance of the Kashperova Piano Trio in A minor will be a UK premiere.
