<p>Music-lovers, who gathered for the concert of ‘Trio Bircher Internationale’ organised by the Bangalore School of Music at Alliance Francaise, were in for a treat. <br /><br /></p>.<p>The ‘Trio’ comprised of Swiss clarinet artiste Daniel Bircher, French cellist Joelle De Jonge and Indian pianist and singer Bethel Tsuzu Therie. <br /><br />The well-paced and well-planned programme ensured that the audience were left asking for more. <br /><br />The melodious opening with eight pieces by Max Bruch was followed by the romantic ‘Serenade for clarinet cello and piano’. Interestingly, the latter piece by Emil Hartmann was specially written for this combination of instruments. Performing Beethoven’s ‘Piano Trio op 11’, also known as Gassenhauer, was surely the highlight of the evening. <br /><br />Bethel from Nagaland, who started playing piano at the age of seven and who came to Bangalore specially for the concert, said, “There’s some very beautiful chamber music in store this evening. Each instrument will be given its space and time. Since India is not meant for an orchestra, a combination of this sort is a good idea.” <br /><br />Daniel Bircher, who is the director of Operations, Bangalore International Airport Limited, said, “Our finale is surely going to be the highlight of the evening. It’s going to be a good experience especially for those who don’t listen to this kind of music often.” <br /><br />The ‘Trio’, who recently came together, said that they have been able to bring out the best of their abilities. “It’s been one week of intense practice. But it’s been good,” said Joel. <br /><br />The packed auditorium was a mesmerised lot. “I’m here to listen to some good music. Since I learn the piano, this performance is of great interest to me. I’m sure that they will live up to my expectations,” said Nupur, a member of the audience. <br /><br />A regular at music concerts, Rajesh Rao, said, “I make it a point to take time out to attend such concerts. I find that today’s concert is an interesting mix of instruments and performers. I have no doubt that it will be wonderful this evening.” <br /><br />“I loved every minute of it here and I really hope that they perform again. It would be wonderful to listen to them again. The synchronisation was excellent. I really haven’t been to a performance like this,” said Arun Kumar, another member of the audience. <br /></p>
