Close Encounters With Music: Town and Country- Mendelssohn and Dvorak

Arts and Entertainment

January 20, 2023

From: Close Encounters With Music

Glittering cosmopolitan Berlin and the village of Nelahozeves, Bohemia (now Czech Republic, population 2,200) are the respective places of origin of Felix Mendelssohn and Antonin Dvorak. Mendelssohn’s Trio in C minor offers some of his most exquisitely crafted music, with a magical scherzo right out of Midsummer Night’s Dream. The spirit of Slavic folk music is at the heart of the “Dumky” Trio, opus 90—showcasing Dvorak’s gifts of melody and inventiveness. The suave salon vs. fireside village dance; city lights and rural utopia, if you will.

Renana Gutman, piano; Xiao-**** Wang, violin; Yehuda Hanani, cello
