NZTrio add a deeper hue with the addition of viola and double bass, to perform Franz Schubert鈥檚 ebullient and beloved Trout Quintet. There is barely a cloud that passes over this unfailing lyrical and summery delight, allowing every instrument the opportunity to shine.
The programme is balanced by Gareth Farr鈥檚 incendiary Ahi and Thousandth Orange for piano trio and vola by Caroline Shaw.
Of the latter Shaw writes I began thinking about the history of still-life paintings. Those bowls of fruit we see framed in museums鈥攕ort of lovely and banal, at first glance, but then richer when considered in the long story of humans painting things that they see, over and over and over again鈥� More angles reveal themselves鈥攎ore perspectives and corners and stories, more understanding鈥攎ore appreciation of something that most would consider unremarkable.
