Remarkable trio, these three widely praised musicians who live in Amsterdam but come from afar. Violinist Daniel Rowland was born in England, cellist Maja Bogdanović in Serbia, and pianist Anna Fedorova in Ukraine. Yet music knows no borders and speaks a universal language, as you can hear this afternoon in, among other works, the Second Piano Trio by Dmitri Shostakovich. The program also includes the Sarabande by the Serbian composer Isidora Žebeljan (1967–2020) and Beethoven’s “Ghost” Trio. The nickname “Ghost” comes from the first movement of this trio, which, because of its somewhat eerie sound and slow motion, gives a ghostlike impression.

Shostakovich’s piano trio is not cheerful, but it is full of meaning. The piece consists of four movements. The final movement, the “Dance of Death,” is filled with Jewish themes. Shostakovich expert Erik Levi wrote: “Shostakovich confronts the listener with the horrors committed by the retreating German army in the final years of the war. He was particularly shaken by reports in the Soviet press that SS guards in the extermination camps Treblinka and Majdanek had forced Jewish prisoners to dig their own graves and then dance on them. This discovery gave rise to the macabre musical imagery that characterizes the finale of the Trio.”
