Merz Trio returns with another powerful program. Sandwiched between Beethoven’s Piano Trio (a conversation of tension and dark lyricism) and Dvořák’s Piano Trio (an emotionally rich venture of intense inner conflict) we find the sweet center: Schoenberg’s Verklärte Nacht (“Transfigured Night”), a journey of tonal richness from D minor to D major, reviving harmonic language reminiscent of both Wagner and Brahms.
