Relaxed Schubert
At nineteen, life was smiling at Schubert. You can hear this right at the start of his relaxed String Trio D 471 for violin, viola and cello. The concert could not start off better than with this cheerful piece. Let yourself be carried away by the almost endless flow of melodyBrahms' Second Piano Quartet, op. 26

A piano quartet as a business card. This applied almost literally to Brahms' Second Piano Quartet, op. 26. As a budding supertalent he settled in Vienna in 1861. In order to interest the Viennese in his music the piece is full of references to the Viennese music culture of that time. The first sounds of the piece seem to be a tribute to Franz Schubert. The tender slow movement is a romantic night-song. In the robust finale you can hear fragments of the Roma music that was immensely popular in Brahms' day.
Franz Schubert (1797-1828)
String trio in B flat, D. 471
Georgy Kovalev (Viola)
Ella van Poucke (Cello)
Noé Inui (Violin)
Is this Schubert or Mozart? You may wonder this when you hear the first notes of Schubert's String Trio in B flat, as Schubert is so close to his idol Mozart. As a young man Schubert was deeply impressed by Mozart's music and this is clearly reflected in this one-movement work.
