ELLIS BURFORD (Soprano)
HETTY BOLTON'S TRIO :
MARIE WILSON (Violin); PHYLLIS HASLUCK
(Violoncello); HETTY BOLTON (Pianoforte)
ONE spring day in 1873 the Professors of the Moscow Conservatoire, Tchaikovsky and Nicholas Rubinstein among them, shut up their books and pianos and had a jolly trip into the country, hearing, during the day, some folk songs, sung by village lads and lasses.
Whon Rubinstein died, Tchaikovsky commemorated his friend in a Trio, inscribed ' To the memory of a great artist,' and, with the memory of their happy picnic in mind, used one of the folk songs they had heard that day as the theme of the extensive Second (and last) Movement of the Trio. In this Trio all the resources of the instruments are used, with remarkable effect. One almost feels, at times, that a whole Orchestra is at work.
THIS was originally written for
A Pianoforte, Clarinet and 'Cello. There are three Movements, the last of which is a set of Variations on an air from an Opera by one Weigl—a tune that was very popular at the time Bsethoven wrote this Trio -about 1798.
