What, one might ask, could steal the show after two such inspired performances of Beethoven. In this case, the answer was none other than John Williams, whose iconic Theme from Schindler’s List (1993) was heard as a profoundly captivating encore. Commissioned by the trio over a phone call with the composer, Williams’s pristine arrangement focuses on the prayer-like intimacy of the music, while retaining emotional subtlety of the original orchestral score.

Cool.  A trio of those instruments sounds perfect for the theme.  Although I fear the phone call went like this: "Hey Emmanuel, I was going to write you a full piano concerto, but I lost interest--here is a version of Schindler's List for you."

Great.  Now do The Terminal!

No, dammit, the love theme!  Throw that away and come back tomorrow!

When will we get a release of this? I absolutely loved the Prayer for Peace cello and classical guitar duet from the new JW YoYo Ma album. A beautiful, intimate arrangement.

Today I learned a piece for piano trio isn't a piece for three pianos.

I had a similar moment of confusion when I saw this.  Oh well, I am sure we are really smart about other things.

I thought it was three dudes playing the same piano at the same time.

The mind is shut.  It was made by those who are incurious, and the incurious keep it.  The mind is shut.

Would it help if I told you that I know what an Arby's Trio is?
