For their concert last week on 4th September, the Friends of Music presented a performance by the Siberian Trio featuring Liezel-Maret Jacobs (piano), Elena Kerimova (violin), and Boris Kerimov (cello).It is not often that Durban music lovers get the opportunity to experience chamber music played live by artists of this calibre, and it was a great pleasure to hear these three highly accomplished musicians performing together.It was a well thought out, all Beethoven programme varied in its combination of instruments, and including both well known and lesser known works, and as such was full of musical interest.Special mention must be made of Ms Jacob's impressive piano technique and subtle attention to expressive dynamic detail that complemented perfectly the lyrical quality of the strings.BarbaraTrofimczyk
