Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Piano Trio no. 2 in E minor, Op.92

The Gould Piano Trio's Cheltenham Music Festival matinee proves the restorative power of chamber music in this spa venue of Regency refinement. 

Now in its 13th year, the annual Corbridge Chamber Music Festival fills St Andrew’s Church, Corbridge to its high-vaulted ceiling, with glorious music from the Gould Piano Trio (who are celebrating their 20th anniversary this year) and their varied guests.

For the second installment in Saturday evening’s Corbridge Chamber Music Festival double bill, St Andrew’s Church was bedecked with tea lights for a programme of light-hearted salon chamber music, based around Book 6 of Mendelssohn’s Songs Without Words, Op. 67.

Les Zadig présentent un programme intégralement consacré à Saint-Saëns : à côté d'arrangements méconnus du compositeur, pas toujours convaincants, la formation impose une lecture fougueuse, sans être monolithique, du Trio n° 2.
