Quantum Clarinet Trio
Quantum Clarinet Trio
Tue 29 Apr, 19:30 - 21:30
JdP Music Building, St Hilda's College, Oxford
Cello Series III: Works for clarinet, cello and piano
Show more
Bruch: Eight Pieces, op. 83 (nos. 1-3 only)
Carl Frühling: Trio, op. 40
Robert Kahn: Serenade op. 73
Brahms: Trio op. 114 This concert focusses on the chamber music repertoire that emerged after Brahms’s Clarinet Trio op. 114 was premiered in 1891. Eusebius Mandyczewski commented on that occasion that ‘it [was] as though the instruments were in love with each other’, and a group of composers creating music in Brahms’s wake immediately gravitated to composing for clarinet, cello and piano. Yet there is also a darker subtext to this concert. Two of these composers, Carl Frühling and Robert Kahn were Jewish. They suffered persecution later on in life after the Nazis came to power in the early 1930s. Both died in relative obscurity as a result – Frühling in Vienna in 1937 and Kahn much later in the UK after having emigrated to the UK in 1939. 6.45pm pre-concert talk by Prof. Christian Leitmeir (Music Faculty)
