About the event
After their triumphant debut at Summer Music in City Churches in 2023, Tier3 Trio returns to perform two romantic Russian works: Arensky's Trio and Andante - an arrangement of the slow movement of Tchaikovsky's 2nd piano concerto with its love duet for violin and cello. The programme opens with Liszt's lyrical tribute to the musical hero of Greek mythology for whom love conquered all, even death.
"The balance between the instruments was ideal, thanks to Daniel Grimwood’s sensitive and clear phrasing at the keyboard, as well as careful attention to dynamic detail from violinist Joseph Wolfe and cellist Jonathan Ayling. This is such a passionate piece that it would be easy to peak too soon, but this interpretation was borne of experience and a clear love for Tchaikovsky’s music." Ben Hogwood, arcana.fm June 2023
