The amazing Pinchas Zukerman, Amanda Forsyth and Michael Stephen Brown brings a night of exquisite classic trios to the well-educated-but-enthusiastically-clapping-between-mvts Chicago audience on a cozy Saturday night.
Mendelssohn Piano Trio No. 1
Higdon Pale Yellow from Piano Trio
Dvořák Dumky for Piano, Violin and Cello, Op. 90
The music moved me. And the program is nice — just pure beauty, elegance and joy, no need for an avant garde piece to prove anything this time.
The piano GLITTERS
Michael Brown is amazing. His piano played the background harmony like luxurious butter, and shines out at times. He is technically flawless and extremely sensitive.
Zukerman’s vibrato is vintage — old-schooled classy that you don’t hear anymore in modern recordings. The cellist plays with passion and momentum. The ensemble is beautifully balanced and collaborated well and listen to each other — what more would one ask?
My violinist companion and I waited for 2 hours at the backstage door for Zukerman — only to learnt later at home via the beautiful cellist’s instagram that they left through the front door💔
