about

I met Deok Yong Kim at the New England Conservatory of Music, in Boston, Massachusetts. I saw her on two occasions performing in Jordan Hall: once as the soloist in a Shostakovich Cello Concerto in Jordan Hall with Hugh Wolff and the NEC Philharmonic and then in an Honors String Quartet concert with Nico in Jordan Hall. Both concerts were in the spring of 2019, and they were fantastic. I was so impressed with her and her quartet that I wrote a string quartet for them that summer, NICO. They recorded it for me @ NEC in the fall and I love the recording. The next thing I did was to write a violin sonata for Minami Yoshida, the first violinist of Nico. It is called Mi-la-mi, after her name. Then I wrote this work for Claire, Kim’s American name. When I asked her what was the meaning of 803 in her email address, she said that is the street number of her apartment in Korea. So, that is how the title Trio 803 came about.

Trio 803 (2020) is in five movements.

1. Adagio, Andante moderato
2. Adagio
3. Allegro con moto, TRIO
4. Adagio
5. Vivace, TRIO

Enjoy!

I'm on my third listen and this album has real depth. Different passages keep leaping out at me, but I like the way it maintains a characteristic tone while being full of melodic, rhythmic and modal variety and even surprise. Really good. I wish I'd bought the CD. Peter Mason

J.S. Bach: "Open" Goldberg Variations, BWV 988 (Piano)
by Kimiko Ishizaka

There are many J.S. Bach pieces I've heard and enjoyed throughout my life, but it was especially Glenn Gould and his box set who made me fall in love and inspired me to take a deep dive and explore Bach's catalogue a few years ago. Then my music focus shifted for a while, but this interpretation just reignited my obsession again. I love this project, the included booklet and score as well! I'm late to join, but look forward to listening to the other and any future releases :) Gerrit
