Event Date: 07/08/2014, 07:00 pm
Classical music inspired by both our earth & the world of the supernatural
The Reservoir Trio
Programme:
L. van Beethoven – Piano Trio no. 5 in D major “Ghost”, op.70 no.1
E. Kats-Chernin – The Spirit and the Maiden
C. Saint-Saens – Danse Macabre
The Reservoir Trio return with a programme which explores music inspired by both our earth and the world of the supernatural.
Beethoven's D major trio has acquired the nickname "Ghost" based on its "strangely scored and undeniably eerie-sounding slow movement". Its outer movements are, however, completely typical of Beethoven's 'middle period', and consist of music which is earthly and absolutely human.
Sydney-based composer Elena Kats-Chernin chose the piano trio configuration for her piece which tells the legend of "The Spirit and the Maiden", and the Danse Macabre by Saint-Saens depicts the gruesome scene in which, at midnight, the skeletons of the dead rise from their graves and dance to Death's demonic tune.
