Shostakovich 5 Pieces (arranged for Piano Trio)
Shostakovich Piano Trio No.2 in E minor Op. 67
Like the Tchaikovsky Trio that opened our English Piano Trio series, Shostakovich’s haunting and haunted Op. 67 is a valedictory work remembering a close friend. But interior lament turns to universal indignation as the finale recalls concentration camp victims forced to dance beside their newly-prepared graves.
English Piano Trio has been delighting audiences for over twenty years with their interpretation of the classical repertory, in the UK and abroad. The Trio also promotes contemporary music through commissioning, performing and recording new works. They perform regularly at major London venues such as South Bank’s Queen Elizabeth Hall and Purcell Room as well as touring extensively abroad.
