Philharmonic Chamber Music Recital
Dohnányi / Schönberg / Mozart
»When it comes to compositional mastery, Dohnányi’s Serenade, Op. 10, is comparable to the string trios of Mozart and Beethoven. And when you consider the playfulness and tonal imagination that infuses the piece, the achievement in terms of the compositional artistry behind the playful facade seems all the more remarkable.
The second trio is Schönberg’s Op. 45. In this piece, the composer was processing the liminal experience of his heart attack through music. He confided to Thomas Mann that the work represented his illness and the medical treatment he received. The extreme density of the musical progressions, combined with the strictly twelve-tonal compositional style, means the trio is only very rarely performed. Finally, Mozart’s Divertimento, KV 563 is one of his last chamber works and the only trio he ever composed. The earnestness and the extreme compositional challenge of the three equal voices inspire feats of musical triumph.« (Naomi Seiler)
