Vienna Piano Trio Series

The Vienna Piano Trio has established a regular Wigmore Hall following and is familiar to Radio 3 audiences from broadcasts and festival appearances throughout the UK. Its special blend of tone colour seems especially suited to the intimacy of the chamber repertoire. Both programmes in this visit open with works by the founding father of the piano trio: Haydn still astonishes with his dazzling combination of high comedy and tragedy, and these two examples of his mature art will not disappoint. Dvorák in many ways shares Haydn’s wide-ranging expression, while both Ravel and Shostakovich expand the genre to its natural limits in terms of imaginative textures and emotional drama.
