Boston Trio concert at the Rockport Chamber Music Festival

Reviews

“With a tremendous display of musicianship and acute attention to detail, the performance Sunday evening marked what will undoubtedly be considered one of the high points of this year’s festival.. … the dramatic dialogue between the cello and violin throughout [Schumman’s Fantasy pieces for piano trio] was artfully heightened by Muresanu and Djokic, who performed with wit, character, and immense breadth of affect. Throughout the quirky exchanges in the Humoreske and the lyricism of the Duett, the players’ interchanges were not only musical, but also deeply poetic….John Musto’s Piano Trio was full of exciting music, and very much exploited the technical virtuosity of the ensemble. … The performers interpreted the work with exuberance, and navigated Musto’s acrobatic passages with sparkling confidence…Djokic’s precision and vigor in the Scherzo [of the Brahms’s Piano Trio ] also deserve note. The Boston Trio was exceptionally successful in bringing this piece to life and keeping the listener engaged with meaningful interaction and deep interpretation, which was received with a standing ovation.” (Boston Musical Intelligencer, 19 June 2013)
