ATOS Trio: Shostakovich - Trio no.2 in e-minor, op.67

Dmitri Dmitriyevich Shostakovich (1906-1975) - Piano Trio no.2 in e-minor, op.67 00:10-07:45 I.Andante – Moderato 07:46-10:50 II.Allegro con brio 11:00-16:40 III.Largo 16:40-27:30 IV.Allegretto – Adagio Written during WW II, while also deeply affected by the death of his friend Sollertinsky. Premiered in 1944 in Leningrad, with the composer at the piano. Haunting and devilish at times, deeply human, modest and humble at others. The famous E-Major chords at the very end must be some of the most heart-wrenching, simple and painful harmonies, leaving us with a screaming silence. recorded live in Berlin / June 18, 2023 ATOS Trio Annette von Hehn, violin Stefan Heinemeyer, violoncello Thomas Hoppe, piano Felix Epp, video & sound (felix-epp.de)
