Zagreb Chamber Music Festival: Smetana Piano Trio - 1st mov.

[RomanticSoul01]

Class players and a very neat performance, if only a little too fast and sunny to do justice to the gravity of this g minor work, in my opinion -- particularly noticeable in the opening bars and around 3:10. But the spiccato near 5:20 is excellently synchronized. One of the towering works in chamber music literature, pouring with grief like Dvorak's trio no. 3 and Brahms's piano quartet no. 3.

@kingted50: if you can look at Youtube, you can look at Wikipedia too, can't you?

[1discipulo]

@sfwhitaker Porque eso a mí me interesa. Ellos tocant muy bien.

[sfwhitaker]

@1discipulo Pues, así como se indica al cliquear el título del programa, los que tocan se llaman : Susanna Yoko Henkel (violin), Monika Leskovar (cello) and Milana Chernyavska (piano) perform Bedrich Smetana's P...

Tu pregunta pudiera haber sido: "What are the names of the players?"

[ParkJinna]

oh man, the cellist leaves me breathless.

[PhysiqueQuantique]

Anyone else see the scary resemblance to the virtuoso part in Brahms's piano quintet, 4th movement? The first few notes in the violin's solo are like exactly the same.

[Dietherf]

Brahms wrote his piano quintet in 1865, Smetana wrote it in 1855.......

For me is Smetanas work absolutely peerless.

[MrSidneywhitaker]

I can only say: Thank you! A superb, dramatic and lyrical performance, most satisfyingly filmed. It is a privilege to be able to listen and watch over again, with and without looking at the printed music..

[musicjerk]

this is definitely professional and world class~!

[kykla01]

world class :-)

Fantastic and inspired performance, thankfully available with great audio clarity, too, here on YouTube. Thanks so much for sharing!

[imlovelylaila]

Amazing. I played it in my last year of college in a room full of school kids. Bow shakes set in half way through the first movement and I've never shifted them. Suffice to say, 20 years on, no longer a violinist.

[pasztrach]

wow I'm not sure why but I was continually fascinated with the cellist throughout this video! It's great to so the cellist steal the spotlight in a piano trio for once!! I play violin myself and am actually playing this piece with a group right now and one of the things I love about it is the juicy cello part. I've never heard of Monika Leskovar but I'm very impressed. The pianist and violinist were good too but I really felt the cellist stole the show. Great performance!

[karelbredenhorst]

great!
