Programme

Reade ‘The Victorian Kitchen Garden Suite’
Glinka Trio
The Reinhart Trio made a very welcome return to the Tilford Bach Society for their November concert at the church of St Thomas on the Bourne. The four works performed explored combinations of cello, clarinet and piano in a variety of moods and styles. In the opening Sonata for Cello and Piano, a late work by Beethoven, Tatiana Chernyshova’s cello seems to be part of herself, so naturally and movingly did she produce this exquisite pattern of sound.
As two members of the trio are Russian they chose the little-known ‘Trio Pathetique’ by Glinka, the ‘Father of Russian Music’ for their second piece which, despite the title, contains a good deal of sparkle and some delightful Russian folk melodies. In introducing the work Tatiana paid touching tribute to the English music establishment that had given her and Anna, and many other young musicians from around the world, such great opportunities to launch their careers.
Clarinettist Anna Hashimoto introduced Paul Reade’s ‘Kitchen Garden Suite’, inspired by a 1980s TV series. Birdsong, swirling mists and the golden days of summer were beautifully evoked and warmed the audience up on the coldest evening of the autumn. More Beethoven ended the concert; an early Trio in B-flat major that culminated in an ‘Air and Variations’ that played with every possible combination of textures and effects from the three instruments. As an encore the audience was treated to a beautiful ‘song without words’ by Rachmaninov, much appreciated by the sponsors of the concert, long-standing TBS members Rev John Innes, his wife Sue and their daughter Jill.
