Concertino for Piano Trio and String Orchestra

Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Almost every orchestral work Martinů wrote involved the piano in one way or the other. Tonight's featured piece, the Concertino for Piano Trio and String Orchestra, was written in Paris but didn't receive its premiere until nearly 30 years later in Lucerne. We hear it from a Parisian ensemble, the Trio Wanderer, joined by the Gürzenich Orchester Köln and conductor James Conlon.
