Violinist

Rossini always had a flair for the dramatic and his Duetto for Cello and Double Bass is no exception. The piece delights in depth of color, tone and richness, revealing witty melodies and soulful virtuosity. Fauré’s Piano Quartet is a passionate personal statement of the composer, evoking a more somber and serious mood throughout. Beethoven’s String Quartet No. 9, the third in his series of <Razumovsky/> quartets, oscillates between darkness and light while churning with emotional depth and innovative plays on harmony.

Beethoven’s luminous Harp quartet, nicknamed for its graceful, plucked passages, closes out the evening with warmth and elegance.
