Schumann & Schubert

“A Trio by Schubert passed across the musical world like some angry comet in the sky.” So wrote Robert Schumann about Franz Schubert’s 1827 tribute to Beethoven, the Piano Trio No. 2 in E-flat Major. This edition of the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival features Schubert’s symphonic yet delicate and transparent trio in a performance by pianist Gilles Vonsattel, violinist Paul Huang, and cellist Peter Stumpf. First though, pianist George Li, the silver medalist in the 2015 International Tchaikovsky Competition and winner of the prestigious 2016 Avery Fisher Career Grant, plays Schumann’s 1838 Arabeske in C Major, Op. 18.
