Review: Violinist Joshua Bell, cellist Steven Isserlis and pianist Jeremy Denk followed up their sold-out Lincoln Center engagement with a concert at the Soraya.
Violinist Joshua Bell, cellist Steven Isserlis and pianist Jeremy Denk were set to grapple with Shostakovich's Piano Trio No. 2 on Wednesday night at the Soraya in Northridge. The great 1944 work, composed partly in response to the death of a friend, opens with a barely audible keening melody for the solo cello.
What followed was a profoundly moving rendition of Shostakovich's Trio — the centerpiece to a deeply satisfying night of chamber music, including Mendelssohn's sunnier Piano Trio No. 1 and Ravel's Piano Trio, completed at the start of World War I.It's probably too soon to call Bell, Isserlis and Denk the Jascha Heifetz, Gregor Piatigorsky and Arthur Rubinstein of our day.
Despite the blip at the start of the Shostakovich, the three performers quickly created a sense of intimacy in the 1,700-seat Soraya. There was absolute silence between movements — a gauge of the respect that the audience showed the musicians — even after the wild exuberance of the second movement Allegro, performed with motoric force.
