Rachmaninoff is arguably one of the greatest melodists in classical music, as seen in his Trio élégiaque No. 1 in G minor, which is paired with Beethoven’s intellectual masterpiece, String Quartet No. 9. The intimacy and transparency of this program are handled gracefully by musicians of the Seattle Symphony and are wonderfully experienced in the Illsley Ball Nordstrom Recital Hall.
