Overview
Originally entitled Poème, Shostakovich’s first piano trio dates from 1923. Its successor (1943-4) was dedicated to the composer’s late friend, the intellectual Ivan Sollertinsky. Making use of Jewish themes Copland said his 1929 piece reflected ‘the harshness and drama of Jewish life' in what is now eastern Belarus, home of the city from which the work takes its name.
The ECMA Showcase has been supported by a gift from the estates of the late Thomas and Betty Elton in memory of Sigmund Elton
