Johannes Brahms
Piano Trio No 2 in C, Op 87
Dmitri Shostakovich
Piano Trio No 2 in E minor, Op 67
Brahms and Shostakovich composed music of extreme emotional warmth and power. In this program containing one piano trio masterpiece from each composer, all the finest qualities of their work and individuality come together. In Brahms’ inspiring work, sweeping melodies surround a central slow movement of a gypsy character. And in the concluding Shostakovich piece, wildly anxious and disturbing elements combine in one of the most brilliant and effective chamber works ever written.
