Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center: Brahms & Arensky

• Wu Han, piano
• Wu Qian, piano
• Bella Hristova, violin
• Dmitri Atapine, cello

Anton Arensky — 6 Pièces enfantines ("Six Children's Pieces"), Op. 34 (for piano, four hands)
Anton Arensky — Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Op. 32
Johannes Brahms — Hungarian Dances, WoO 1 (for piano, four hands; selections)
Johannes Brahms — Piano Trio No. 2 in C major, Op. 87

Quintessential Russian and Viennese styles abound in this pairing of composers deeply embedded in their singular cultures. The Slavic melancholy of Arensky gives way to the exuberant flair of Brahms as we juxtapose works in both popular and formal idioms: Arensky's miniatures for children and Brahms's Hungarian Dances show the composers at their crowd-pleasing best, while their two piano trios reveal the depth and mastery that earned each legendary status and lasting appeal.
