Yes, We Have No Trios
Trio Cleonice (file photo) By the time Trio Cleonice and Friends’ second season of informal, down-home concerts at Brookline’s United Parish Church closed on Thursday, word seemed to have gotten out big time; it took at least 25 minutes past official concert starting time to shoehorn into the church’s parlor all who showed up. This series is adapted to having members of the trio perform outside the trio repertoire, but this one appeared to be the first time they didn’t play any actual piano trios (owing to pianist Isaacman-Beck’s absence due to a cycling accident). With guest artists Emily Smith and Zenas Hsu, violins, Gwen’s father Joel Krosnick, cello, and Samuel Rhodes, viola, the latter two of the Juilliard Quartet, they fielded a program of works for violin and piano (Beethoven), two cellos (a partial premiere by Richard Wernick), and string quintet (Schubert). Smith and Phelps opened with an […]

The World of Debussy # 6: Debussy & Ravel - String Quartets and Piano Trios
Claude and Maurice, whose music was often associated with each other's, were actually very different men and composers. Surely, at the turn of the century Ravel regarded the genius from Saint-Germain-en-Laye as his most inspiring guide into the new music, but later remained anchored to his own peculiar style and unmistakable aesthetics. Where the inventions of the two great masters are stylistically close, is in their String Quartets, inevitably often played and recorded together. In purely classic form, mindful of Fauré's and Saint-Saëns' lessons, these elegant quartets are rightly popular, and they feature in most string ensemble's repertoires permanently. When it comes to the Piano Trios, Debussy's youthful effort, though brilliant it may be, is no match for Ravel's famous masterpiece, one of the most enchanting and seminal chamber pieces of all times. Take the Rosenfeld/Hoffman/Previn recording: in the 2nd Mov. Pantoum, 2nd theme (at min. 1:47), the jazzy modulation […]
