Emotion and artistry intertwine throughout this captivating evening. Chausson’s last completed work, Chanson perpétuelle, enchants with its heartbreaking beauty. Then a set of playful, thought-provoking miniatures by Kurtag captures the spontaneous spirit of experimentation. Bach’s Sonatina adds a luminous serenity, leading into Schubert’s Notturno, a sublime meditation from his extraordinary final year. Saint-Saens’ Piano Quintet sends us home with youthful spirit, dramatic interludes, and energetic verve.
