Customer Reviews
If These Guys Were A Company I'd Buy Stock
There’s a new sound coming out of Silicon Valley and it’s so retro, so completely old-school, that it’s actually hip. You hold in your hands their initial public offering, and you’re about to learn why these guys are the bomb. Call them Silicon Valley’s hot new sensation, the new new thing. Or you can call them The Saint Michael Trio. Of course, boy bands are nothing new in Silicon Valley. It seems like every venture capitalist has a rock band and sure—some of them aren’t altogether delusional. But here comes something completely different, a troika of Valley big shots and they’re playing on 17th century equipment: a violin, a cello, a piano. It’s varnished wood we’re talking about here, horsehair drawn across string, and a guy throwing felt hammers—technology that hasn’t changed in three hundred years. There’s no electronics anywhere to be found. It’s so quaint it’s cool. And here’s the thing: even when they’re playing the old gray-hair music it somehow sounds fresh and re-vitalized. Maybe it’s because the guys playing are a vital part of Silicon Valley’s tech sector and haven’t spent their lives in the musty conservatories and concert halls, where Brahms and Beethoven are treated like museum pieces and the practitioners fancy themselves as curators. Or maybe it’s because the Saint Michaels play with absolute abandon. You see: they don’t need this. They’re passionately consumed by their day jobs— all three are considered industry leaders and they frankly don’t have time for this. So they’re playing because they just can’t help it. The music wells up out of them, uncontrollably. That’s what you’re hearing on this CD, the sound of three guys who can’t stop themselves. But you’re wondering if a software geek, a medical device guy, and a CEO have got the chops. Well, that’s what’s so interesting: these are guys that were a sure thing for concert careers. They trained with the best and accumulated vast experience on stage, but to the disappointment of their mentors all three decided the music would be more satisfying if it wasn’t the only thing. So here they are, scarcely into their second year as a triumvirate and already they’re being staged by no less than the Steinway Society, playing in elite concert venues, and being named Artists in Residence at Menlo College. Oh, they’ve got chops, all right. You can hear the precision and control—and sheer artistry—on their CD and it will hold up against critical scrutiny. And because of who they are, they’re reaching a new demographic—people beyond the arts crowd. They’re turning on techies and digerati and lots of regular folk who never imagined themselves in a concert hall, who are hearing this old form as the new thing and finding themselves completely taken. They are The Saint Michael Trio, and if they were a company I’d buy stock. --Sal Pizarro, San Jose Mercury News
A Tour de Force
The Saint Michael Trio has put together a stunning first effort with their descriptively titled CD--"Debut." So many initial efforts by independent classical trios come off as self-produced and in need of a little lift. Not so with the trio's strong opener. This eclectic combination of modern and classical pieces both soars with virtuosity and calms the soul. Hancock's strength and lightness on Mendelssohn's Trio in D Minor showcases the beauty and subtlety of the piece, and the trio's serene playing of William's Theme From Schindler's List gave me chills. We can only hope that this impressive collection will soon be followed by additional recordings.
Full of passion
The trio members' passion for their music clearly comes through in this CD. Displaying a versatility not often seen, the Saint Michael Trio's Debut is a treat.
