Felix Mendelssohn: Piano Trio No. 2 in C minor, Op. 66 The musicians: Boris Brovtsyn, violin Zvi Plesser, cello Sunwook Kim, piano Recording: Evening Concert of the International Chamber Music Festival Utrecht, Thursday the 29th of December 2022, in TivoliVredenburg in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
Since I’d never heard of Chu Teh-Chun, I looked at the Christie’s article about ‘ten things to know,’ and had to smile. ‘Oriental abstraction’ seemed an oxymoron at first. It is interesting that his calligraphy training influenced his later work.
I have to admit that I did not know him. But sure, we both follow Chinese principles in painting and are rather abstract. Thank you so much for sharing 🙂
