Program

  • Erich Korngold, Suite from Much Ado About Nothing for violin & piano, Op. 11
  • Ralph Vaughan Williams, Six Studies in English Folk Song for English horn & piano (1926)
  • David Matthews, Terrible Beauty for soprano, flute, clarinet, harp & string quartet, Op. 104
  • Thomas Adès, Court Studies from The Tempest for clarinet, violin, cello & piano
  • Edward Elgar, Piano Quintet in a minor, Op. 84 (1918)

The Bard takes center stage as Korngold channels Shakespeare’s story of courtship, crossed wires, and mistaken identities; Adès creates vivid character sketches of the Court of Naples; and David Matthews gives voice to Antony and Cleopatra. Elgar offers an Edwardian masterpiece of epic scope, embodying the gilded age and filled with unabashed romanticism and the pastoral grace of the English countryside.

"The performance was superb... producing a sound that was both luxurious and clear. I can’t imagine a better case being made for this hybrid work. "
— The Boston Globe
