Considered one of the world’s leading chamber ensembles, Vienna Piano Trio is about to bid farewell, with its members to retire after this season—its 34th.
To bring things to a close, the group also known as Wiener Klaviertrio has devised a daring program. Viennese pianist Stefan Mendl, Californian violinist David McCarroll (who plays a 1761 Gagliano violin), and Austrian cellist Clemens Hagen (on a 1698 Stradivari) will perform Schubert’s Notturno in E flat major, Opus 48, D897 and Piano Trio No.1 in B-flat major, Op.99, D898; and Mendelssohn’s Piano Trio No.1 in D minor, Opus 49.
“The Vienna Piano Trio’s liquidity, marvelous shaping and sexy classicism in no way compromised the vigor–even the occasional bullishness–of the musical utterance,” The Strad once wrote.
