Performance by

Sergei TANEYEV  String Trio in D Major Op. 21 ▪ 1907
   ▪ traversing a soundscape from an Allegro in the spirit of Mozart and an updated baroque dance, to a touching Andante, and a lyrical and dramatic Finale—for 2 violins and viola

TCHAIKOVSKY  Variations on a Rococo Theme Op. 33 ▪ 1876
   ▪ sparkling Neoclassical showpiece for the cello

Mikhail IPPOLOTOV-IVANOV  “An Evening in Georgia” Op. 71 ▪ pub. 1935
   ▪ rich in folk melodies and rhythms with hints of the exotic, revealing superior technique in his expressive handling of the timbres of the flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and piano

Nikolai MEDTNER  Piano Quintet in C Major Op. posth. ▪ 1903–1949
   ▪ fusion of Rachmaninoff and late Beethoven in a synthesis of his musical philosophy, resulting in a “rare, unworldly exultance and introspection”
