Frank Braley – Piano / Beethoven, Dvořák & Korngold

Presented by Jean Marc Dumontet (PLATESV-R-2022-011004). AN EVENING OF CHAMBER MUSIC WITH THE ARTISTS OF THE QUEEN ELISABETH MUSIC CHAPEL It is quite natural that the great pedagogue and immense pianist Frank Braley, master of the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel, joins the Chapel's young Artists-in-residence for an evening. The concert, dedicated to discovery and transmission, brings together Beethoven, Dvořák, and Korngold for a landmark evening of chamber music. Korngold's quartet suite, a key composer in the emergence of an American style, is a work as spectacular as it is little known. It follows two pieces of relentless expressive power: the "Geister" and "Dumky" piano trios. Program Ludwig van Beethoven • Piano Trio No. 5 in D major Op. 70 No. 1 "Geister-Trio" Antonín Dvořák • Trio for Piano and Strings No. 4 in E minor "Dumky" Op. 90 – 4th, 5th, and 6th movements Erich Wolfgang Korngold • Suite for two violins, cello, and piano (left hand) Op. 23
