Fresh from the Kew Academy having flown in from Salzburg where as students they met and have now created a superb trio.
Perivale was full to the rafters to hear two of the great masterpieces for piano trio by Beethoven and Brahms.
Living and rehearsing together in Kew prior to their tour which has included Manchester London and tomorrow Amsterdam.Madeline not only plays the cello divinely but she has the same love for cooking and the house has been ringing with music and the most wondrous smells from the kitchen.Callum is a dab hand at the computer and Isobel loves to practice and keep us all in order.
It is only experiencing life together that a trio can come alive as it did today with each one knowing instinctively what the other might do.Like the cat chasing the mouse ,waiting and watching ready to pounce.Each one a master of his or her instrument.The piano lid fully opened because Callum is a good driver who knows where he is going and Madeline sits in the curve of the piano knowing that the wooden lid will reflect her beautiful cello playing without any forcing.Isabel coming into her own playing in perfect harmony with her two friends.Some extraodinarily luminous playing from Callum taken over by the soaring passion of Isabel and Madeline in the sublime Brahms trio. Bringing the same meditative mystery to the Brahms Adagio that they had brought to the whispered Largo of the ‘Ghost’trio.What energy there was in the Allegro of the Beethoven and the sheer joy at the end of the first movement of the Brahms was exhilarating.
Hugh Mather has hit the nail on the head when he says St Mary’s is the ideal venue for chamber music as was proven today by a packed house listening in rapt attention to these three wonderful young players.I bet Hugh Mather is watching in from home too where he is on family duties with a well earned rest from the hundreds of concerts that he presents every season.
Roger Nellist was the expert presenter today having come down from his perch in the video studio to share in the fun we were all having on stage.
