When a composer returns to a particular genre, there’s likely much more to be said. This program bristles with communicative urgency: from the vaulting cello theme of Brahms, to the hypnotic tone-painting of Arensky, to the euphoric French air of the late Romantic era. Come experience the music of three inspired composers at the height of their powers.
Program:
Johannes Brahms (1833–1897) — Sonata No. 2 in F major for Cello and Piano, Op. 99
Anton Arensky (1861–1906) — Quartet No. 2 in A minor for Violin, Viola, and Two Cellos, Op. 35
Gabriel Fauré (1845–1924) — Quartet No. 2 in G minor for Piano, Violin, Viola, and Cello, Op. 45
