POWER OF THREE

Hummel’s Op. 22 displays all the expert craftsmanship, sparkling brilliance and urbane charm of early-19th-century Vienna, a perfect partner to Amy Beach’s Op. 150 trio, full of her sweeping lyricism and harmonic warmth. Mendelssohn’s dramatic C minor trio completes a program of music we love - its restless energy, choral-inspired finale, and virtuosic interplay affirming the piano trio at its most electrifying.
