UK premiere of Previn Trio no 2 from Wigmore Hall

[Guest]

Today's Wigmore Hall lunchtime recital features the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio, formed for the inauguration of President Carter at the White House in 1977, and still going strong today. They'll perform the London premiere of their latest commission, Andre Previn's Second Piano Trio, along with Brahms's broad and lyrical Trio in B major, Op.8.

Presented by Sean Rafferty

an interesting programme. Missed most of the Previn, but will try to catch up later.
Hearing the last few mins of the Previn, had no idea at all who it could be by !!

I always want to like his music but yet again I found it uninspiring - in no way difficult but not even a stream of melody. There was nothing about it that made me want to hear it again, and I regret having to write that. Then the Brahms started & it was interrupted by a phone call

I've got Andrew Preview's Piano and Guitar concertos on Decca, and they are really rather good: but the soupy violin concerto written for Anne Sophie Mutter which I saw at the Proms a few years ago was rubbish: no wonder she divorced him shortly after.

no wonder she divorced him shortly after.

I'm sure there were other reasons...

Grounds for divorce, though (it sounds as if someone had taken all the rejected sketches of the Korngold Concerto from the composer's waste paper basket and sellotaped them together) - but Mutter continues to play Previn's compositions - including those written since their divorce!

(Every Good Boy Deserves Favour is the best piece by Previn that I know.)

Before the concerto.

Before the concerto.

Someone's thrown a pot of white paint at her. Previn looks as though he knows who it was.

Presumably the Korn rather than the Gold!

I heard Mr Preview's earlier trio one or two years ago played by himself and ASM plus cellist I can't remember. I got the feeling that they were still rather fond of each other, but Andre had difficulty walking - though he played the piano better than I can!
