Lisztomania! A 200th Anniversary Celebration

Fan frenzy and the cult of celebrity had their roots with Franz Liszt, sex symbol and showman extraordinaire. Keyboard innovator and a powerful genius whose compositions blazed the way for Impressionism, Romanticism, and atonality, he is regarded as the greatest pianist of all time, mesmerizing audiences at his thousands of concert appearances. A portrait will emerge in this program: Liszt's pictorial piano solo works; Saint-Saens' Rondo Capriccioso (one of the many composers he generously promoted), and Mendelssohn's C minor Trio (his ideological rival). Also, four recently published works for cello and piano, transcribed by Liszt himself.

Artists:
Jeffrey Swann, piano; Yehonatan Berick, violin; Yehuda Hanani, cello

Grand Piano Quartets: Schumann and Brahms

The complex relationship between Robert Schumann and Johannes Brahms continues to fascinate, with the immortal Clara hovering as common muse. The Piano Quartets in E Flat Major, Opus 44 (Schumann) and G minor, Opus 25 (Brahms) deliver an enthralling range of emotions--vigor, passion, power, and the timelessness of enduring masterpieces. Both were prmiered by Clara Schumann, and the music evokes an auditory remembrance of things past, glimpses into a lost world of nobility and higher ideas.

Artists:
Lydia Artymiw, piano; Arnaud Sussmann, violin; Toby Appel, viola; Yehuda Hanani, cello

Trade Winds -- From China with Love

Before today's multiculturalism and penchant for fusion, the musical dialogue between East and West began with Debussy, Ravel, and the American avant-garde. China's "Empress of Pipa," soloist Liu Fang, performs traditional selections on the Chinese counterparts to the lute and zither, and is joined by Yehuda Hanani for a premiere by Pulitzer Prize winner Zhou Long. Bulgarian pianist Emma Tahmizian plays Mother Goose and Leo Ornstein's remarkable A la Chinoise, and Israeli violinist Hagai Shaham offers Debussy's pentatonic-inflected Sonata and Friz Kreisler's Tambourin Chinois.

Liu Fang, pipa and guzheng; Emma Tahmizian, piano; Hagai Shaham, violin, Yehuda Hanani, cello

The Dedaelus Quartet

May 19 | Saturday, 6 PM
The Dedaelus Quartet: Beethoven, Schubert and Berg

The "refined but passionate Dedaelus Quartet" (The New York Times) brings an intriguing all-Viennese program. Like Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, his Quartettsatz is a piece brimming with ardor and ecstasy--but unfinished. Out of the world of Freud, Klimt, and Schnitzler, Alban Berg's groundbreaking Lyric Suite plays with cryptic messages and themes depicting the tragic love of Tristan and Isolde...while it is in fact about his "unrequited passion for a friend's wife," a mystery revealed 20 years ago when the composer's letters were released. Beethoven's Opus 59 No. 1 in F Major, the majestic "Razumovsky," was a commission by the Russian ambassador to Vienna.

Artists:

Dedaelus Quartet
Min-Young Kim, violiin; Ara Gregorian, violin; Jessica Thompson, viola; Raman Ramakrishnan, cello
