Retrospectives

Charles Neidich, Clarinet
Dana Kelley, Viola
Efi Hackmey, Piano

The first standard work for clarinet, viola, and piano, Mozart’s sunny “Kegelstatt” trio set the stage for later works by Schumann—his imaginative, emotive “Fairy Tales”—and Bruch, whose introspective pieces embody the Romantic idiom. Mamlok’s pointillistic Rhapsody and solemn Rückblick offer a rare glimpse of her voice and personal history.
