Ernest Chausson, Piano Quartet in A Major, Op. 30
From the streets of Paris to the Hungarian countryside, we begin our second quarter-century with a program of beauty, light, and joie de vivre. Kodály’s fiddler greets us with wild abandon, Eric Moe transports us to a luminous, glowing past, and Debussy conjures a universe of shifting color and sensual dreams. Chausson’s piano quartet is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece of elegance, warmth, and endless mélodie.
