Three magnificent musicians celebrate the 150th anniversary of Maurice Ravel, plus Rachmaninov’s emotional heights and Beethoven’s most famous piano trio.
Cellist Alisa Weilerstein is joined by her great friends, violinist Stefan Jackiw and pianist Inon Barnatan, for an evening of vibrant chamber music. Having recorded Beethoven’s Triple Concerto together, the three musicians are turning their joint attention to some of the highlights of the trio repertoire.
The central work, Ravel’s sole Piano Trio, marks the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth. It is a brilliantly original work that bristles with crystalline invention and keeps its performers on their toes from first to last.
Before that, the group plays Rachmaninov’s Trio élégiaque, the Russian composer’s achingly beautiful tribute to his late predecessor, Tchaikovsky.
The evening ends with Beethoven’s ‘Archduke’ Trio, its name a dedication to the composer’s patron and pupil, the Archduke Rudolf of Austria. Filled with exhilarating energy and an endless fount of inspiration, this is Beethoven at his unquenchable best.
