The concert, shorter in duration than Les Violons du Roy&#8217;s usual concerts, draws its repertoire from pieces written for bourgeois or noble private settings: receptions, dinners\u2026 So many occasions to be entertained by smaller instrumental ensembles.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The first piece, Mozart&#8217;s String Trio in B-flat major, features two violins accompanied by the double bass, an uncommon alliance in Baroque trios, but one that was surely practiced at the time to carry the bass a little more than the cello at private parties. The \u201cAdagio\u201d gives us a chance to hear some lovely exchanges between the three musicians, while the \u201cMenuetto\u201d is much more bouncy. The musicians play nicely together, and all the variations, whether in the phrasing of the eighth notes or in the rallentandos, are gracefully executed. The trio format lays the musicians bare, and there are occasional tiny bow snags, particularly on the double bass, but that&#8217;s also part of the charm of these small ensembles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The concert continues with Dvo\u0159\u00e1k&#8217;s Terzetto for two violins and viola in C major, alternating between rapid homorhythmic passages, very well executed, and gentler question-and-answer games. The viola is superb in the \u201cLarghetto\u201d and energizes the \u201cScherzo\u201d. The final section of the piece features a magnificent surge of energy and emotion from the first violinist, Pascale Gagnon, who gives a splendid performance. The audience is won over. This is followed by Kod\u00e1ly&#8217;s Serenade for two violins and viola, a much more modern piece in which Hungarian music colors are mixed with more experimental approaches for the time. From the outset, the hall is captivated by the high-pitched playing of violinist Katya Poplyanski, who had already won me over as first violinist at a previous <em>Les Violons du Roy<\/em> concert. The latter possesses a sharp musical sense and total mastery of her instrument, but always retains a central place for emotional phrasing and flights of fancy: playing that is both methodical and free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201cLento\u201d presents an exchange between violin 1 and viola, supported by a chordal texture from violin 2. It is a truly special section, but one in which we really see the two soloists conversing. The final movement, \u201cVivo,\u201d is more playful and brings the piece to a beautiful conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">To end the concert, the viola gives way to the double bass, which returns to perform Strauss&#8217;s Wiener Carnaval-Walzer. A much simpler piece, perhaps even too much so, after the previous two daring ones. The whole thing is well-executed and amusing, without shining through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">A fine musical success, this concert is also an opportunity to get to know the musicians of <em>Les Violons du Roy<\/em> in a different, more intimate setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Early in the evening, as part of the \u201cAp\u00e9ro Series,\u201d we meet up with Les Violons du Roy for the concert Dvo\u0159\u00e1k et Cie: Trios inattendus.
