2022 Hay Festival – Dvořák Plus with the Mithras Piano Trio and Gary Pomeroy (2/4)

Sarah Walker presents Dvořák Plus performed by the Mithras Piano Trio with viola player Gary Pomeroy at the 2022 Hay Festival, including works by Mahler and Dvořák.

Sarah Walker presents Dvořák Plus, with music performed by the Mithras Piano Trio who are joined by the viola player Gary Pomeroy. The concert was recorded at St Mary's Church, Hay-on-Wye, during the 2022 Hay Festival. Their programme includes a lesser known work by Gustav Mahler, who is more famous for his large-scale symphonic works. This one movement piano quartet dates from his student years, possibly around 1876. Dvořák’s Piano Quartet in D was composed one year earlier and at a time when he was relatively unknown. It didn’t receive its premiere performance until 1880 in Prague.
