The renowned Horszowski Trio more than delivered the goods to a capacity house on Sunday, November 14. We knew this was going to be an extra-special concert and yet it exceeded even our highest expectations. The crowd did not save its standing ovation until the end; several in the audience jumped to their feet at the conclusion of the first piece on the program, Dvorak’s Dumky Trio. From there the excitement built and built through Rebecca Clark’s Piano Trio and Schumann’s ultra-romantic Piano Trio in d minor.
We waited 21 years for the exquisite pianist Rieko Aizawa to return to us – Rieko performed a solo piano recital on our 5th anniversary series in March, 2000! During the intervening years Rieko has been very active on the international chamber music scene. Her current participation in the Horszowski Trio, along with violinist Jesse Mills and cellist Ole Akahoshi is an all-consuming project. They give their study and performances their all and the result is overwhelmingly exciting and beautiful. This is an ensemble in demand all over the globe and we had them here in Saranac – so thrilled!!
