Chekov: Rothschild’s Violin, from ‘Novellas and Stories’
“A thrilling dash and vigour, heightened by vivacious dialogue between the instruments” theartsdesk.com on the Mithras Trio
Yakov Ivanov, an ill-tempered village coffin-maker and violinist, has always hated the local orchestra’s popular Jewish flautist, Rothschild. When Yakov becomes sick after his long-suffering wife dies, he experiences an epiphany that leads to an extraordinary act of generosity that astonishes everyone who knows him. Shostakovich began work on his klezmer/Jewish-inspired 2nd Piano Trio just ten days after completing the orchestration of ‘Rothschild’s Violin’, an opera by his pupil Veniamin Fleishman who died at the Siege of Leningrad. For this performance, the movements and the story alternate.
