David Finckel, cello; Wu Han, piano; Philip Setzer, violin
Two members of the Emerson String Quartet — cellist David Finckel and violinist Philip Setzer — join forces with Finckel’s wife and artistic collaborator , pianist Wu Han, for a glorious Valentine’s Day performance of Schubert’s two piano trios. Schubert’s output during his final year was staggeringly productive, with the two piano trios plus dozens of other masterpieces, an output not equaled by many composers during entire lifetimes. Schubert was particularly proud of the E-flat trio, including it in a program of his own music in 1828 that commemorated the first anniversary of Beethoven’s death.
Program:
Schubert Piano Trio in B-flat Major, Op. 99, D. 898 (1828)
Schubert Piano Trio in E-flat Major, Op. 100, D. 929 (1827)
