About the show
The famous Gould Piano Trio perform a concert of German masterworks, culminating in Schubert’s B-flat trio, one of the triumphs of the trio repertoire. They pair this with Haydn’s late E major trio, in turn playful and highly expressive, and a trio by Heinrich Marschner. Marschner (1795-1861) was regarded as of the most important composers in Germany in the nineteenth century, a friend of Beethoven and Mendelssohn and a strong influence on Schumann. Particularly well known for opera and lieder, his chamber works also have an operatic and vocal quality, especially in their beautiful and distinctive melodies.
Featuring
Gould Piano Trio
Formed in 1987, the Gould Piano Trio are are Lucy Gould on violin, Richard Lester on cello (replacing Alice Neary) and Benjamin Frith on piano. The trio has established itself as one of Britain's most exciting chamber ensembles, performing in major venues throughout the UK and overseas as well as making appearances on BBC Radio 3. Widely acclaimed for its performances on both the concert platform and in the recording studios, the Trio recently celebrated its quarter century landmark. The diversity of the Trio’s discography, including masterworks and neglected gems, is also a hallmark of its international success, while commissioning and performing new work is also an important part of its commitment to creativity and innovation. The Trio also mentors young musicians and hosts the annual Corbridge Music Festival which it founded 20 years ago with clarinetist Robert Plane.
