About:
Three exceptional musicians reunite in Bangkok to explore two of the most revered works from the piano trio repertoire; Schubert’s Piano Trio No. 1 in B flat Major and Rachmaninov’s Trio Elegiaque No. 1 in G minor. Robert Schumann said ‘One glance at Schubert’s Trio (Op.99) and the troubles of our human existence disappear and all the world is fresh and bright again’. Although it was written in the composer’s final months which were filled with illness and melancholy, Opus 99 is a lively buoyant work, with unrivaled lyricism throughout. In contrast, on the day that Tchaikovsky died, Rachmaninov composed his impassioned funeral march ‘Elegiac’. 1893 also marked the year of Rachmaninov’s graduation and this single expressive movement can also be heard as a lament to his mentor, pianist Nikolaj Rubinstein.
The three musicians bringing this exquisite programme to you are extremely seasoned and passionate performers. Rhys Watkins, a member of the first violin section of the London Symphony Orchestra is joined by Rowena Calvert, founding member of the international award winning Cavaleri String Quartet, and Yosuke Osada who began his diverse career in the Juilliard School, New York.
Rhys and Rowena also form the renowned duo ‘R2’ who, most recently, were invited to perform in Classic FM’s Hall of Fame. They will begin the concert with Handel/Halvorsen’s Passacaglia.
