Como solista Hagai Shaham ha actuado con las principales orquestas del mundo, incluyendo la English Chamber Orchesrtra, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Royal Liverpool Philharmonic, BBC Philharmonic, Belgian National Orchestra, Israel Philharmonic, RTE Symphony Orchestra y las orquestas de Taipei, Singapore y Shanghai. En septiembre de 1990, Hagai Shaham y su compañero de dúo, Arnón Erez, ganaron el primer premio del ARD Internatonal Music de Munich en la categoría de dúo de violín y piano, tras lo cual comenzaron a realizar multitud de conciertos alrededor del mundo, aclamados tanto por el público cómo por la crítica. Una fructífera carrera que continúa hasta la actualidad. Tocando juntos música de cámara en el Festival” Pablo Casals” de Prades, Hagai Shaham y Rafael Wallfisch reconocieron una inmediata sinergia musical. Arnon Erez se unió a ellos más tarde, ese mismo año en unos conciertos de trío en Lucerna y en los Países Bajos y ahí nació el Trío Shaham Erez Wallfisch. Desde 2009, el trío ha tocado, grabado y retransmitido en toda Europa e Israel con mucha asiduidad. En la temporada 14/15 pudimos disfrutarles en gira por el Reino Unido, Bélgica, Alemania, Francia, Israel y España, volviendo al Concertgebouw de Amsterdam para ofrecer dos conciertos. En enero de 2016 el trío se presentó en el Wigmore Hall de Londres con un gran éxito de crítica. Su próximas temporadas incluyen conciertos en Bélgica, Holanda, Alemania, Polonia y Canadá, así como sus regresos tanto al oncertgebouw como al Wigmore Hall. El Trío Shaham Erez Wallfisch goza de una larga relación con Nimbus Records con quien hasta la fecha han grabado los tríos de piano de Mendelssohn, un disco de repertorio francés y un disco de repertorio ruso. El lanzamiento de su siguiente disco Todo-Brahms - que incluirá los tríos de piano y el Doble concierto con la Staatsorchester Rheinische Philharmonie - está previsto para principios de 2016. Nacido en 1965, Arnón Erez es uno de los principales pianistas de Israel y un músico de cámara excepcional. Ha ganado varios concursos internacionales, entre ellos el primer premio en el concurso Francois Shapira, y ha actuado en los principales festivales y salas de conciertos de todo el mundo, incluyendo el Carnegie Hall de Nueva York, el Beethoven Halle de Bonn, Alte Oper de Frankfurt, el Herkulessaal de Munich, el Musikverein de Viena; New Auditorium du Louvre en París y el Wigmore Hall de Londres, entre otros. Como solista ha actuado con orquestas como la Filarmónica de Israel, la orquesta sinfónica de SWF, la Sinfónica de Haifa y la Orquesta del Festival de Banff. Ha dado recitales y grabado para la radio y la televisión en Alemania, Austria, Holanda, Israel, Turquía, México y Francia. Raphael Wallfisch nació en Londres en una familia de destacados músicos, su madre la chelista Anita Lasker- Wallfisch y su padre el pianista Peter Wallfisch.

Desde entonces, ha disfrutado de una fructífera carrera en todo el mundo, tocando con las más grandes orquestas del mundo, como la London Symphony, London Philharmonic, Philharmonia de Londres, Sinfónica de la BBC, Halle, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, Gewandhaus de Leipzig, Berlín Symphony, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Indianapolis Symphony, Varsovia Philharmonic, Filarmónica Checa entre otras. Es invitado regularmente a tocar en grandes festivales como el BBC Proms, Edimburgo, Aldeburgh, Spoleto, Prades, Oslo o Schleswig- Holstein. Con una discografía de más de 70 discos de EMI, Chandos, Black Box, ASV, Naxos y Nimbus, Raphael Wallfisch es uno de los artistas clásicos con más grabaciones en el mundo. Enero2016/BAM la prensa ha dicho " ...absoluto movimiento, como resultado de una gran modestia, la cual no debe ser confundida con sencillez o falta de pretensiones; una modestia sin ningún sentimentalismo. Los músicos saben, con total precisión, cómo respetar la frontera entre la intimidad de la música de cámara y la grandeza de un concierto sinfónico. Esto sólo se puede lograr con artistas cuyas capacidades y experiencia estén a un nivel igualmente alto" Fonoforum Interpretación de primera clase del Trio Shaham Erez Wallfisch “riqueza, intensidad expresiva…Wallfisch tocó con exquisita belleza de tono… Shaham nos ofreció unas fantásticas y prolongadas melodías mientras que Erez nos mostró la encantadora coloratura romántica de la parte de piano… Shaham resolvió algunos de los pasajes más virtuosos con seguridad. Los tres músicos se hicieron uno solo al bordar los diversos cambios de estado de ánimo y tempo…su emocionante interpretación de la coda…Erez destacó en los virtuosos y turbulentos pasajes del Rachmaninov, asegurándose de que los instrumentistas de cuerda nunca fueron anulados y el equilibrio de sonido fue excelente todo el tiempo….Hubo facilidad y fluidez en el modo en que los tres músicos abordaron al material temático en constante evolución…disfruté especialmente del sorprendente y vertiginoso dúo de las cuerdas en la tercera variación, así como de la ternura y lirismo… una energía concisa y una articulación excepcionalmente clara y firme...los interpretes mostraron toda la espontaneidad y frescura de la música y junto al carácter creativo de la obra la hicieron resplandecer. En general, fue una noche de música de primera clase y las interpretaciones de Arensky y Brahms fueron excepcionalmente buenas.” Seen and Heard International, Robert Beattie, 23 Enero 2016 Apasionante interpretación de un elegante ensemble. “nunca interfieren a la música. Emana de ellos sin obstáculos, como si el equilibrio de un trío de piano fuera la cosa más fácil del mundo, y Dios sabe que no lo es… Estos artistas evocan los valores musicales que hoy en día están empezando a parecer "vieja escuela", sin embargo, son como la libra esterlina siempre sólida. Erez es el más retraído de los virtuosos, aportando brillo y resplandor… con su tono siempre melodioso y trasparente. El sonido de Shaham recuerda los grandes violinistas de la mitad del siglo 20: sofisticado y esplendoroso, pero nunca edulcorado, usando las transiciones con un criterio práctico. El violonchelo de Wallfisch parece prácticamente una extensión de sí mismo, así combina elocuentes diálogos musicales como ocupa rápidamente el centro de la escena transmitiendo las grandes melodías…Notable calidad artística la que muestra en este concierto, incluida la variedad de la gama de contrastes…El sonido del piano de Erez se volvió completamente luminoso, como por arte de magia.” The Arts Desk, Jessica Duchen, 21 de enero de 2016.

The Romantic night was one without sleep; where experiences are mutated through darkness. Highlight Stephen Hough’s thoughtful programming creates a new aural sphere for some of the most celebrated piano of the month works in the repertoire. CDA67996 Anton RUBINSTEIN Piano Quartets Rita Manning Morgan Goff Justin Pearson Leslie Howard CDA68018 Pianist Leslie Howard is acclaimed as ‘a virtuoso in the true Romantic style with its emphasis on musicality as much as bravura’ (The Guardian). He is joined here by three of his frequent string collaborators for two forgotten masterpieces of the Russian nineteenth-century chamber music tradition by renowned pianist- composer Anton Rubinstein. Ildebrando PIZZETTI, Mario CASTELNUOVO-TEDESCO Violin Sonatas Hagai Shaham Arnon Erez Hagai Shaham and Arnon Erez continue their exploration of the early twentieth-century violin repertoire, CDA67869 turning this time to Italy.

    St Luke’s Music Society Bringing music to the Battersea and South West London community March 2021—Online Raphael Wallfisch John York March 2021 — Online Raphael Wallfisch (cello) John York (piano) Pre-concert talk Johannes Brahms Sonata for cello and piano no. 1 in E minor Op. 38 Robert Schumann Romances for cello and piano Op. 94 Johannes Brahms Sonata for cello and piano no. 2 in F major Op. 99 ——— Programme Notes ——— Johannes Brahms (1833-1897) Sonata no. 1 in E minor Op. 38 1. Allegro non troppo; 2. Allegretto quasi Menuetto; 3. Allegro, in E minor Brahms started work on the first of his cello sonatas in 1862. There were to be four movements; the first two were composed during the summer of that year, as was a third, an adagio, which was later deleted. Further work on the sonata was suspended until the summer of 1865 when Brahms completed the fugal finale. The sonata is entitled “Sonate für Klavier und Violoncello” and the composer intended that the piano “should be a partner - often a leading, often a watchful and considerate partner - but it should under no circumstances assume a purely accompanying role”. It is dedicated to Josef Gänsbacher, a little known singing professor and amateur cellist, not a famous name, with whom Brahms gave the first performance in Mannheim. It was published in 1866. Twenty years had to wait before Brahms wrote another cello sonata. Brahms described the work to the publisher, a bit misleadingly perhaps, as “a violoncello sonata which, as far as both instruments are concerned, is certainly not difficult to play”.
