Gradually adding collaborators, the Horszowski Trio played Bolcom, Saint-Saëns and Brahms at Fort Worth's Mimir Chamber Music Festival.
by American composer William Bolcom, musicians were added for each of the two following works. Violist Jessica Thompson joined for a B-flat major Piano Quartet by Saint-Saëns — where else would you hear? — and Mimir executive director Curt Thompson joined as second violinist for the Brahms Piano Quintet.
Bolcom was one of an international array of composers commissioned by the Haydn Trio Eisenstadt, in Austria, to mark the 2009 bicentenary of Joseph Haydn’s death. Bolcom’s tribute begins seriously, even portentously, in Haydnesque musical language. But as it proceeds, lines slip out of traditional harmonic connections, the subtle mischief honoring a forebear known for musical wit. The performance was tightly coordinated, but with just the right “give” here and there.
. The Mimir musicians gave it an impassioned account, replete with rhythmic subtleties; introspections were lovingly caressed. The second movement opened with apt buoyancy, and the reflective episode interrupting the finale’s exuberance was breathtaking. Aizawa was occasionally a bit too loud in the balance, but overall her playing was a marvel of nuance, notably her way of tapering off phrases and motifs. String playing remained securely under control, with none of the raw forcing too often heard from chamber ensembles these days.But Mills’ vibrato sometimes struck me as overly intense in climactic passages, and it sometimes interrupted what could have been more legato lines.
