Chamber Music De Amstel - A Musical Landscape: Piano Trios

Four piano trios through the ages

Kamermuziek De Amstel takes you on a journey through four piano trios from different periods. You will hear works by Joseph Haydn, Robert Schumann, Robert Kahn and Sergej Rachmaninov. Each piece comes from a different time and place: from the 18th-century Habsburg Empire to the Moscow of 1892. Between the performances, you will receive historical commentary that places the music in its context.

Music and story side by side

The commentary alternates with the performances. This way, you not only hear the music, but you also understand where it comes from. Haydn's sparkling court salon music sounds different when you know the world in which he wrote it. The same applies to Schumann's searching expression, Kahn's Brahms-inspired chamber music and the melancholic tone of the young Rachmaninov.
