Program

  • Darius Milhaud, La création du monde – Suite de concert pour piano et quatour à cordes, Op. 81b
  • George Rochberg, Between Two Worlds (Ukiyo-e III) for flute & piano
  • Pavel Haas, Wind Quintet, Op. 10
  • Alban Berg, Adagio from Kammerkonzert for violin, clarinet & piano
  • Erich Korngold, Suite for two violins, cello & piano left-hand, Op. 23

The period between the wars was a hotbed of innovation bustling with new styles and means of expression. Korngold straddles the line between golden lyricism and unbridled bravado with a rare late Romantic treasure, and Haas mingles Czech folk songs with fanciful dances and prayerful synagogue music. Milhaud offers a joy-filled homage to the Jazz Age, and Rochberg paints a shimmering portrait of the floating world…between then and there, here and now…

"The crowd rose to their feet within seconds...Smiles from on stage and in the audience testified to an exquisite afternoon."
— The Boston Musical Intelligencer
