Adele Margulies Trio Opens Mendelssohn Hall Concert
The Adele Margulies Trio offered a first concert in Mendelssohn Hall amid cautious approval. The program opened with Max Reger’s Trio Op. 102 in E minor and Dvořák Trio Op. 65 No. 2 in F minor, both performed with discipline though the Reger work provoked divided judgment for its length, lack of coherency, and austere style. The ensemble delivered a clear, well argued rendering of both pieces, and the audience stayed patient with applause for the performers.
