Shostakovich - Piano Trio No2
Shostakovich - Piano Quintet in G major
Susan Tomes Piano
RSNO String Quartet
‘It’s a bit like a conversation,’ says Susan Tomes about the art
of chamber music. ‘A good conversation, anyway.’ And she should
know: as one of Scotland’s finest pianists and an unrivalled
communicator, the players of the RSNO are always delighted to make
music with her. Together, they explore the powerful 20th-century
imagination of Dmitri Shostakovich. His Second Piano Trio probes dark
secrets; his Piano Quintet is so striking that people used to hum the
tunes on the Moscow Metro.
