Beflügeltes Gespann
Two trios and a quintet, each with obbligato piano, from Eastern European-West Asian spheres: by a refugee to Russia with Polish-Jewish roots, a present-day Armenian, and a Russian inclined towards German Romanticism. Mieczysław Weinberg's piano trio is full of inventive, striking motifs and captivates with its strong dramaturgical expressiveness. Anton Arensky's piano quintet is a mature masterpiece of sensual beauty and brilliance. In between is Tigran Mansurian's piano trio, a contemporary work and a discovery. Concert duration: approx. 110 minutes.
