Wu Han, piano - Arnaud Sussmann, violin - David Finckel, cello

Perennial favorites David Finckel and Wu Han expand their acclaimed duo for this special recital of piano trio masterworks by Haydn, Shostakovich, and Mendelssohn. French-born violinist Arnaud Sussmann is a frequent collaborator with the bicoastal musical power couple, which has no shortage of virtuosic potential ensemble partners, thanks to Han and Finckel's posts as co-directors of both Music@Menlo and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. Sussmann is an ideal co-conspirator in this repertoire, praised for an "old-school sound...[with a] rare combination of sweet and smooth that can hypnotize a listener" (Pioneer Press, MN).
