Hummel Piano Trio No 1 in E flat major Op. 12
Eben Piano Trio
INTERVAL
Tchaikovsky Piano Trio in A minor Op. 50 In memory of a great artist
The Gould Piano Trio, Lucy Gould, Richard Lester and Benjamin Frith, have been making music together for a quarter of a century. They tour internationally, are frequent recording artists and commission new work from contemporary composers as well as acting as artistic directors for the Corbridge Chamber Music Festival with clarinettist Robert Plane.
The Goulds' programme for Morpeth is characteristically diverse, opening with a trio by Hummel - a pupil of Mozart, contrasting with a trio by twentieth century Czech composer Eben. Tchaikovsky;'s only piano trio comprises the whole of the second half. This Romantic, tragic work in A minor was written to commemorate the death of pianist Nikolai Rubinstein. We can look forward to an outstanding start to our 79th season.
'The only comparison that comes to mind is the old Beaux Arts Trio; the combination of jeweler-like precision and a musical fire that ignites from the first bar … though three musical personalities come through, the melding of the minds (and fingers) is on a plane one rarely hears today … This was the most satisfying concert I’ve heard all season.”'
