Martinů Sonata for Cello and Piano No. 3, H. 340
Shostakovich Piano Trio No. 2 in E minor, Op. 67

Three of Adelaide’s favourite musicians unite in a concert of contrasting memorials. Both composers dedicated these pieces to the memory of departed friends: Martinů’s Third Cello Sonata is delightfully warm and sunny, but Shostakovich’s Second Piano Trio has an icy clarity, cold enough to send chills down your back.
