The critically acclaimed, award-winning Mithras Trio present a colourful pair of works: Stephen Dodgson’s second trio and Brahms’s first trio as part of the Lunchtime Concert series at St George’s Bristol.
Praised for their ‘exquisite phrasing’, ‘full-blooded commitment’ and ‘bold, passionate colours’, the Mithras Trio is fast growing a reputation as one of the next generation’s most exciting piano trios. They are current members of the BBC New Generation Artists scheme, broadcasting regularly on BBC Radio 3, and they won first prize at the prestigious 10th Trondheim International Chamber Music Competition.
This concert’s first piece is the one-movement second trio by Stephen Dodgson, rich and complex, by turns playful, exuberant and rhapsodic. The second piece is one of the great masterpieces of the piano trio repertoire, lyrical and soaring in the first movement, impish and skittish in the scherzo, celestially calm in the adagio, and finishing with a dark and brooding fourth movement.
