Listen back to the 3BBR FM Concert Hall, as we proudly featured members of the MCO; Sophie Rowell – violin, Merewyn Bramble – viola, Blair Harris – cello, Emma Sullivan – double-bass, with guest pianist/composer Stefan Cassomenos.
On Sunday 13th October, Joseph Baraké presented a dazzling concert of superb musicianship at Wesley of Warragul. 3BBR-FM was thrilled to be there to record it.
Not only was Franz Schubert’s Piano Quintet, “The Trout” a highlight feature, but also the new composition by Stefan Cassomenos whose ‘Quintettsatz’ was truly captivating and certain to become a great hit.
In his pre-concert talk, Stefan explained how he came to write this most appealing composition and how he was inspired by Schubert’s music; a fascinating insight into the creative process.
This premiere in Warragul on September 22nd was the final performance in a Regional tour by members of the Melbourne Chamber Orchestra.
The concert opened with a movement from Hummel’s Piano Quintet written for the same 5 instruments as the Trout Quintet.
- Johann Hummel – Piano Quintet in D minor Op74, 1st movement
- Stefan Cassomenos – Quintettsatz
- Franz Schubert – Piano Quintet in A major D677, “The Trout”
