Trio Kanon -R.Schumann: Trio D minor op.63 n.1 -violin Guarneri del Gesù 1734, cello Stradivari 1700
Mit Energie und Leidenschaft
Lebhaft, doch nicht zu rasch. Trio
Langsam, mit inniger Empfindung. Bewegter
Mit Feuer
L'inaugurazione di “Reunion in Cremona”, che coincide con le Giornate Europee del Patrimonio, quest’anno ispirate al tema “Un due tre… Arte! Cultura e intrattenimento”, è stata suggellata dal concerto del Trio Kanon con due capolavori della collezione del Centro di Musicologia “Walter Stauffer”: Lena Yokoyama ha suonato il violino Guarneri del Gesù “Stauffer” 1734 e Alessandro Copia il violoncello Stradivari “Stauffer ex Cristiani” 1700. Al pianoforte Fazioli, Diego Maccagnola.
Il programma rilegge uno dei grandi capolavori di Robert Schumann: il Trio in re minore op.63 n.1. Composto nell’estate 1847 e offerto alla moglie Clara come dono per il ventottesimo compleanno, unisce un rigore formale affine alle grandi pagine di Beethoven e Schubert ad un appassionato vigore creativo, di particolare intensità lirica e introspettiva. Fece breccia nel cuore di Clara che ne scrisse: “È uno dei brani di Robert che più hanno scaldato le profondità della mia anima e mi hanno rapita dall’inizio alla fine. Lo amo appassionatamente e non smetto di volerlo suonare”.
