While every selection in the carefully chosen program was special, each of the four Romantic pieces for Violin and Piano by Dvorak were precious gems, and Arensky\u2019s Piano Trio in D minor with brilliant cello sang to this Slavic soul.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Virginia Heinrichs<\/strong><\/p>\n Wonderfully warm tones from all three artists. Perfectly shaped phrases, and energetic playing that should definitely speed up the arrival of warm weather. The light piano passage in the Chopin sparkled like silver. Linwood DeLong<\/strong><\/p>\n Very beautiful, sensitive playing. Hats off to the performers for selecting some interesting, but less frequently played repertoire.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Lyle Smordin<\/strong><\/p>\n Extremely melodic. Three first- class musicians. The music flowed beautifully toward the audience. Most enjoyable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Ye Seul Lee<\/strong><\/p>\n It was awesome! I couldn\u2019t find any mistakes. The Reiner Trio has three perfect musicians; they made my day! I will not forget this night. Thanks.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Paul McCullough Sr.<\/strong><\/p>\n Wonderful concert.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n [gdlr_space height=\u00a0\u00bb30px\u00a0\u00bb]<\/p>\n Four stars for the Reiner Trio.<\/strong><\/p>\n On Saturday night, the Montreal-based Reiner Trio \u2013 violinist Laurence Kayaleh, cellist Elizabeth Dolin and pianist Paul Stewart \u2013 gave Virtuosi Concerts patrons the opportunity to hear some rarely-heard pieces, all by Slavic composers. The evening was just what the doctor ordered for a seemingly interminable winter in which the trio\u2019s performances, so full of energy and life, were enthusiastically welcomed by the Winnipeg audience.<\/p>\n Stewart introduced Rachmaninoff\u2019s Trio elegiaque No. 1 in G minor, a dramatic and emotional start to what would prove to be an immensely satisfying program, with a nod to the work\u2019s elusive origins \u2013 the piece was written in the last decade of the 19th century and went virtually unnoticed until 1947, when its first edition was finally published.<\/p>\n Needless to say, it was a thrill to hear. Kayaleh and Dolin\u2019s urgent strings played both with and against Stewart\u2019s versatile piano, which navigated the piece\u2019s countless twists and turns with flair and ease. Each artist alone seemed to be an organic extension of their instrument; together, the musicians\u2019 chemistry was magical.<\/p>\n The intelligently-structured program gave each artist the chance to showcase their abilities both individually and within the context of a trio. Stewart and Dolin came together on Chopin\u2019s Sonata in G minor for Cello and Piano, Op. 65, which the composers collaborated on with, and dedicated the piece to, cellist Auguste Franchomme. The opening Allegro moderato established a dialogue between the two instruments, Stewart\u2019s nimble piano lines rising to meet Dolin\u2019s dulcet cello tones as the two began an exquisitely-composed courtship. Scherzo \u2013 allegro con brio, which incorporated elements of a mazurka \u2013 a nod to Chopin\u2019s Polish heritage \u2013 featured beautifully complex and full-bodied work from Dolin, who captured the uniquely modern style and spirit of the movement.<\/p>\n Largo, a love duet between two instruments, was romantic and delightful; Stewart\u2019s melodious piano played the part of a shy gentleman resolved to win the heart of the headstrong woman embodied by Dolin\u2019s cello, a quest fulfilled in the movement\u2019s final, gorgeous, faded notes. No sooner had the audience caught their breath than the duo surged forward into the lively Finale \u2013 Allegro, in which dazzling bow-work and richly-hued piano built toward a triumphant and ovation-worthy finish.<\/p>\n Kayaleh joined Stewart for an exceptional rendition of Dvor\u00e1k\u2019s Four Romantic Pieces for Violin and Piano, Op. 75. These \u201cfour little jewels,\u201d as the violinist described them in an introduction, demonstrated Kayaleh\u2019s impressive range and intuitive command of her instrument. She made the agile and powerful rhythms of Allegro maestoso come alive, mesmerized the audience during the extraordinary Allegro appassionato \u2013 a movement that concluded with a dazzling display of pizzicato \u2013 and, over Stewart\u2019s fluid piano, brought the intricate melancholy of Larghetto to a place of pure emotion.<\/p>\n The trio came together once more for Anton Arensky\u2019s Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Op. 32. Stewart noted that the Russian composer wrote the piece two years after his pupil Rachmaninoff\u2019s death and dedicated it to the memory of cellist Karl Davydov. Arensky\u2019s work fittingly contained a breadth of moods and textures representative of a lifetime. Scherzo \u2013 Allegro molto featured a \u2018music box\u2019 texture, a light, playful feel and brisk tempo, whereas Elegia \u2013 Adagio, an elegy for Davydov, was mournful and touching. All this led to the energetic Finale \u2013 Allegro non troppo, where violin and cello sang together as the three players raced forward to the piece\u2019s \u2013 and the evening\u2019s \u2013 stunning close. Regrettably, no encore was offered. The concert was recorded by CBC Radio 2 for broadcast on In Concert on Sunday, June 30th<\/sup> 2013.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 30 mars 2013 – Performance \u00ab\u00a0Slavic Soul\u00a0\u00bb [gdlr_space height=\u00a0\u00bb30px\u00a0\u00bb] [gdlr_frame type=\u00a0\u00bbborder\u00a0\u00bb align=\u00a0\u00bbleft\u00a0\u00bb margin-bottom=\u00a0\u00bb0px\u00a0\u00bb] [gdlr_image_link type=\u00a0\u00bbimage\u00a0\u00bb image_url=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/lkayaleh.kayaleh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/trio_reiner_article_small.jpg\u00a0\u00bb alt=\u00a0\u00bb \u00a0\u00bb link_url=\u00a0\u00bbhttps:\/\/lkayaleh.kayaleh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/trio_reiner_article.jpg\u00a0\u00bb target=\u00a0\u00bb_blank\u00a0\u00bb][\/gdlr_frame] Trio Reiner : Laurence Kayaleh – Violon Elizabeth Dolin – Violoncelle Paul Stewart – Piano [gdlr_divider type=\u00a0\u00bbdouble\u00a0\u00bb ] Programme : SERGEI RACHMANINOFF – Trio \u00e9l\u00e9giaque No. 1 in G mino FR\u00c9D\u00c9RIC CHOPIN – Sonata in […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":278,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lkayaleh.kayaleh.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259\/"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lkayaleh.kayaleh.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lkayaleh.kayaleh.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post\/"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lkayaleh.kayaleh.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1\/"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lkayaleh.kayaleh.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments\/?post=259"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lkayaleh.kayaleh.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259\/revisions\/"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lkayaleh.kayaleh.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/278\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lkayaleh.kayaleh.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/?parent=259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lkayaleh.kayaleh.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/?post=259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lkayaleh.kayaleh.com\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags\/?post=259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
