PROGRAM
Osiris Trio
Ghost & Gigue: "It was by his gentleness alone that Osiris subjected country after country, winning and disarming their inhabitants by songs and the playing of musical instruments..." This week, three brilliant musicians from Amsterdam who have taken on the name of this Egyptian god of the underworld captivate us with spellbinding artistry of their own. Listen in as the Osiris Trio plays Beethoven's "Ghost" Trio, the first movement of the last chamber work Mendelssohn composed, and two evocative settings of Irish folk tunes by Frank Martin.
