Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Piano Trio no. 1 in C minor, Op.8

Ravel, Mendelssohn and youthful Shostakovich form a varied programme for this starry trio. 

Drawing an end to a season of vigorous study under some of the world's leading maestri, the International Musicians Seminar at Prussia Cove presented their penultimate concert in Truro School Chapel with a steadfast sense of achievement that derived from the fruit of labour combined with an eternal passion for music.

These Conway Hall Sunday Evening Concerts are always good value, but this one was especially generous: there was a ‘pre-concert recital’, 40 mins before the concert proper. As we were taking our seats, pianist Hiro (Hiroaki) Takenouchi was still driving frantically to the venue, having been severely held up in traffic.

Olivier Charlier, Xavier Phillips et Roustem Saïtkoulov communiquent leur incroyable énergie au public de la salle Gaveau dans les trios de Chostakovitch, Dvořak et Tchaïkovski.

Dans un Auditorium du Louvre qui affichait complet, le Trio Sōra a impressionné par sa cohésion, l'intelligence des choix musicaux et le niveau de réalisation.

La Philharmonie de Paris rassemble Jean-Yves Thibaudet, Lisa Batiashvili et Gautier Capuçon pour trois trios légendaires : le Trio n° 1 de Chostakovitch, celui de Ravel et le Trio n° 2 de Mendelssohn.

Das außergewöhnliche Ensemble bringt natürliche Spielfreude mit einer unaufdringlich kammermusikalischen Spielweise auf die Bühne.
