Artis Piano Trio in concert
Χωρίς Τίτλο
This concert refreshes our memory of two classic 20th-century works. Dmitri Shostakovich’s Piano Trio No. 2 (1944) is dedicated to the memory of Ivan Sollertinsky, a friend of the composer. In the last movement, astute ears will recognize the Jewish theme to which Shostakovich returned in his dark Eighth Quartet. Olivier Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time (1940-1941) was written and premiered by the composer and three fellow prisoners in the Görlitz concentration camp. A metaphysical vision—the title references the Book of Revelation and the phrase “there should be time no longer”—the work is a landmark in musical Modernism.
