The secret sauce to what makes Dvo\u0159\u00e1k\u2019s G-major String Quintet so delectable is its incorporation of warm, hearty Bohemian folk elements as well as a rich and mighty double bass. While bass with string quartet is a less common chamber music combo, it\u2019s certainly a satisfying choice for this work, giving it a greater, more robust range.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Written after the passing of a dear friend, Shostakovich\u2019s Second Piano Trio is soaked with both sorrow and splendor, best represented by its delicate pizzicato, cascading patterns, and compulsive rhythms\u2014one of which builds upon a Jewish folk melody and appears in the final \u201cdance of death\u201d movement. \u00a0<\/p>\n
Also on the program is a \u201cPassionate\u201d Trio by Glinka\u2014the \u201cfather of almost all things dealing with Russian music\u201d\u2014and selections by Mark O\u2019Connor, a fiddle player and composer best known for his \u201cpowerful, sweet, nasty, and gritty\u201d (Strings) style.\u00a0<\/p>\n
