  • Dante Summer Festival: Cornwall

    Lavethan Blisland, Cornwall, England, England
    Linos Piano Trio

    'Beethoven’s Ghost'
    Krysia Osostowicz (violin), Linos Piano Trio: Prach Boondiskulchok (piano), Konrad Elias-Trostmann (violin), Vladimir Waltham (cello)

    Beethoven’s little-known violin sonata in A, showing him at his most playful and subversive, precedes the famous “Ghost” piano trio whose eerie-sounding slow movement was reputedly inspired by a scene from Shakespeare’s Macbeth. This is revolutionary music, full of dramatic extremes, deep darkness and radiant light.

    Beethoven – Violin sonata in A, op 12 no 2
    Beethoven – Piano Trio in D, op 70 “The Ghost”

  • Dante Summer Festival: Cornwall

    Lavethan Blisland, Cornwall, England, England
    Linos Piano Trio

    'The Trout'
    Linos Piano Trio with Krysia Osostowicz (viola); Jenna Sherry (violin), Alinka Rowe (viola), Eliza Millet (cello)

    Schubert’s glorious quintet, maybe one of the most best-loved classics of all time, needs no introduction. But first, a little-known work by Mahler, his only piece of chamber music: intense and brooding in tone, acting as a sombre prelude to one of Schubert’s most joyful creations.

    Mahler – Piano Quartet movement in A minor
    Schubert – Quintet in A Major, “The Trout”

  • Dante Summer Festival: Cornwall

    Lavethan Blisland, Cornwall, England, England
    Linos Piano Trio

    'The Archduke'
    Linos Piano Trio, Alinka Rowe (viola), Eliza Millet (cello)

    First we hear a contemporary and highly approachable duet composed by virtuoso violist Garth Knox, full of folk rhythms and quirky harmonies. Then another of Beethoven’s most celebrated works, dedicated to his great friend and patron Archduke Rudolph of Austria. Although Beethoven gave the first performance of the trio, his encroaching deafness prevented him from ever playing the piano in public again. The music, sunny and majestic in tone, betrays nothing of his struggle with this devastating illness.

    Garth Knox – Pocket Concerto for viola and cello
    Beethoven – Piano Trio in E Flat, op 97 “The Archduke”

  • Dante Summer Festival: Cornwall

    Lavethan Blisland, Cornwall, England, England
    Linos Piano Trio

    'Bach & Sons'
    Krysia Osostowicz, Jenna Sherry (violins); Linos Piano Trio

    Johann Sebastian Bach can be considered the father of Western classical music; he also fathered 20 children, several of whom became composers. Alongside Bach Senior, we will enjoy the music of three of his sons including Carl Phillip Emanuel, whose amazingly inventive piano trios have just been recorded for the first time by the Linos Piano Trio. The trio’s pianist, Prach Boondiskulchok, contributes to the fun with his own set of “Inventions” inspired by JS Bach and composed during Lockdown.

    JS Bach - Partita in E for solo violin
    JC Bach - 3 violin duets
    WF Bach - Fantasie for piano solo
    P Boondiskulchok - 3 Inventions
    CPE Bach - Piano trio in E minor

  • Dante Summer Festival: Devon

    St Paul's Church, Yelverton Yelverton, Devon, England
    Robert Plane (clarinet)

    Figure of Eight: Schubert’s Octet

    Brodsky Quartet, Robert Plane (clarinet), Florence Plane (bassoon), Lynn Henderson (horn), Edward Francis-Smith (double bass)

    Schubert’s Octet is on a grand scale: the combination of strings and wind offers an vast range of colours and textures, from the most intimate sounds to the majesty of a full orchestra. A perfect conclusion to this festival celebrating the genius of Schubert and our return to live music.

    Beethoven Duo for clarinet and bassoon in C major, WoO 27, no. 1
    Schubert Octet in F Major, D. 803
