Janine Jansen (Violin) and Friends, feat. Alexander Gavrylyuk (Piano) at Carnegie Hall (Site)

Saturday December 9, 2017, 7:30 pm

Find sardonic humor, heart-on-the-sleeve emotions, and soaring melodies in a night of Russian chamber music. Shostakovich was just 17 when he composed his rarely performed Piano Trio No. 1. It flirts with older Russian music, but the composer’s trademark pungent harmonies, insistent rhythms, and lyricism are all present. There’s abundant melody in Prokofiev’s Violin Sonata No. 2, as well as wit and energy. Rachmaninoff’s Trio élégiaque No. 2 memorializes Tchaikovsky, an advocate for the young composer. It includes an extrovert piano part and a set of second-movement variations, meant as a touching tribute to Tchaikovsky’s only piano trio.
