Wu Han, piano
Arnaud Sussmann, violin
David Finckel, cello
Perennial favorites David Finckel and Wu Han expand their acclaimed duo for this special recital of piano trio masterworks by Haydn, Shostakovich, and Mendelssohn. French-born violinist Arnaud Sussmann is a frequent collaborator with the bicoastal musical power couple, which has no shortage of virtuosic potential ensemble partners, thanks to Han and Finckel’s posts as co-directors of both Music@Menlo and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Sussmann is an ideal co-conspirator in this repertoire, praised for an “old-school sound…[with a] rare combination of sweet and smooth that can hypnotize a listener” (Pioneer Press, MN).
This performance is made possible, in part, by Daniel Johnson and Herman Winkel.
