The Hills Were Alive

janaki string trioBeverly Hills, that is. The Da Camera Society (a chamber music society I mentioned last year) arranged a concert by the Janaki String Trio in the Beverly Hills Women’s Club. Click the (no-flash, not-while-they-played) photo for a larger version. I’m a Beethoven nut, and so having two of his string trios on the program was excellent. There was also a trio by Shubert that I liked a lot. There were two bonuses however.

They also played the string trio in C, Op. 10 by Dohnanyi, which I enjoyed very much, and a new piece by Andrew Norman entitled “Alabaster Rounds” (it was its West Coast premiere), which was quite marvelous.

    That was not how it was pronounced when they were announced. I did not work my way over to the musicians during the reception to ask them anything, so this did not come up. So I’m not sure.

    cheers,

    That sounds great! I’ve been into classical for about a year (I specialise in listening :D), and I’m a LvB nut, too!

    Btw, I’m just curious about the name of the ensemble. The J is pronounced the “Spanish-way,” right?

    Off I go now to listen to a Haydn concerto.
