Description
In a concert sponsored by the San Francisco Chamber Music Society, and originally recorded on April 17, 1978, violist John Graham joins the Francesco Trio in a performance of chamber works by Johannes Brahms, Earl Kim, and Antonín Dvořák. The Francesco Trio, a popular San Francisco Bay Area ensemble, consisted of David Abel on violin, Bonnie Hampton on cello, and Nathan Schwartz on piano. In this concert they perform a viola and piano sonata by Brahms, a piano trio by Earl Kim, and a piano quartet by Dvořák, thus proving their virtuosity at both contemporary and more tradtional compositions.Genres
