The Trio élégiaque No1 by Rachmaninoff opens the programme today. Its single movement consisting of 12 sections, allows each of the instruments to develop the opening elegiac theme in a variety of moods.
In an unparalleled creative surge towards the end of his life, Schubert produced a flood of masterpieces, including the Trio which forms the centrepiece of the concert. Its majestic first movement is a rich and colourful dialogue between two themes of great emotional subtlety. The lyrical slow movement and lively scherzo are followed by a dance-like trio. The colourful Rondo with its extended themes and variations weaves glorious sonorities that end the piece.
The concert will conclude with an arrangement for Piano Trio of the hauntingly beautiful Adagietto from Mahler’s 5th Symphony. This promises to be an afternoon of emotionally charged chamber music.
Trio Legame is a dynamic and passionate chamber ensemble formed by three highly accomplished musicians: violinist Emma Arizza, cellist Ludovico Colombo, and pianist Ana Bursac. Despite being a newly established trio, each member brings a wealth of professional experience, having studied at world-renowned institutions such as the Royal College of Music and Trinity Laban Conservatoire in London
