Marc Bouchkov, Zlatomir Fung, and Mao Fujita play Ravel and Arensky

Violinist Marc Bouchkov, cellist Zlatomir Fung, and pianist Mao Fujita join forces in an incredible concert live from Verbier Church!

First up on the program: Ravel’s sublime Piano Trio in A Minor. This enchanting piece consists of four movements, one of which has an unusual title, the “pantoum”, inspired by a form of poetry from South-East Asia. Arensky’s Piano Trio No. 1 follows, the composer’s most recorded and popular work. The fast-paced yet discreet piano rhythm creates a backdrop against which the main theme freely develops, evoking varying emotions as it reappears in different instrumental parts.
