Bridge Phantasie (Trio No.1)
Shostakovitch Trio, Op.67
Brahms Trio in C Minor, Op. 101
Performed by the Perseus Trio
7.30pm The Recital Room, South Hill Park, Bracknell
The Bridge is a gem of a piece. Shostak speaks for itself. The Brahms is so neglected! A great piece.
Tommo

I may well persue the Perseus lead.  |

Rather than correct the first message and leave the wit of the first reply orphaned, I will instead write here that the Trio name is indeed 'Perseus', and I am a better violinist than a typist.
By the way, anyone looking up the programme on the intenet will see German Romanticism and suggetions of Brahms C Minor with Schoenberg Verklarte Nacht arranged for Trio. Sorry to disappoint, but the programme is now Bridge, Shostakovitch and Brahms.
Cheers
Tommo

I very much doubt it, t-p, the Perseus Trio is not, I think on the Radio 3 'list'. Come to balmy Bracknell. The South Park arts centre, is pleasant enough to visit. Buses from close to town centre stop about a minute's walk away. Don't think about travelling to Bracknell by Greenline bus for the evening though. They stop ridiculously early. Train or car is your only hope.

Tommo, is this concert going to be broadcast by radio 3? Oh goodness, I hope people don't get too high expectations of the Perseus Trio! This is Bracknell, not the Wigmore. I will of course try to record the concert and send it in when R3 does a Chamber Music version of Listen Up!  Tommo |

Well, last big rehearsal for this was last night, and went well. Just topping and tailing now.
Thought I would bring this TTT, as it is always nice to have an audience, and would love to see some of you there.....

Sorry Tommo, I was planning to go, but a family emergency has just been doubled, and I have to head north after dealing with the first tomorrow afternoon. It is just possible I will get back for Friday evening, but it looks a bit iffy.

Well thanks anyway Bryn, I hope the family emergency resolves quickly for you. BobbyZ - many thanks. I hope you'll enjoy it! Come and say hello afterwards, if you want. Final rehearsal tonight went OK, although I surprised the cellist with how fast I took the Shostakovitch second movement - nothing like spicing things up a bit at the last moment...... [By the way, if anyone remembers a thread called "unintentional backhanded compliments" from the old boards, I do still remember my promise to be take any comments about the sound my violin makes graciously.... ! ] Cheers Tommo |

Tommo
Thanks for the concert. I was a little worried when I bought my ticket earlier in the week and it was quite a low number. I was hoping that didn't indicate how many they had sold. In the event my worst fears weren't justified and I hope you were happy with the turnout and the reception you received.
I didn't know any of the pieces but had a pretty good idea what to expect from Brahms and Shosta. Will have to try and hear the Bridge again to get a full handle on it.
Will have to say hello another time, having lumbered myself with this forum name I felt a bit silly thinking of saying "hi, I'm BobbyZ" ( it's Dylan related by the way )

I hope the family emergency resolves quickly for you.
Thanks Tommo. The situation will, unfortunately, inevitably resolve itself before very long, but there has, at least, been some temporary aleviation of the immediate problem. I think I would rather have been at South Hill Park than driving back, listening to tonight's Radio 3 selection of recorded performances. Damn it, they can't even manage to broadcast a bunch of recordings as advertised, "due to a technical problem". |
