The Smetana Trio consists of Jitka Cechová (piano), Jan Talich (violin), and Jan Pálenícek (cello).
“The three instruments blended into a single sound, a perfect understanding of the varied moods, and in addition a delight in the music,” Badische Neueste Nachrichten has said of the trio. “At the same time the architecture of the movements was never neglected, and never for a moment did the musicians lose sight of the whole while shaping the details
American Record Guide writes: “The passion for music of their homeland was matched by musical skill, flawless ensemble, and exceptional communicative ability.”
For this concert, the Smetana Trio will perform Rachmaninoff’s Trio élégiaque in G minor, Martinů’s Piano Trio No.3 in C major, Opus 32, and Smetana’s Piano Trio in G minor, Opus 15.
