Description
Shostakovich: Piano Quintet in G minor, Op. 57 // Tchaikovsky: String Sextet, Op. 70 "Souvenir de Florence”
Event Details
This program features two Russian masterpieces written fifty years apart. The Shostakovich is dark and brooding, with a plaintive fugue serving as its emotional centerpiece. By contrast, Tchaikovsky’s virtuosic sextet features star turns for each performer and is regularly featured as the centerpiece of festival programs around the world.
