Always elegant, engaged, and insightful, the Caramoor Virtuosi's program paints vivid landscapes of the musical culture and creativity of the turns of the last three centuries. Beethoven's Opus 44 Variations for piano trio foreshadow later innovations and the first turns towards Romanticism. Dohnanyi's lush opus 1 piano quintet straddles the late-Romantic and the breaking apart of tonality, beautifully captured in Webern's sets of miniatures for cello and piano, of the early 20th century. Chen Yi's exhilarating Sound of the Five is a nod to the growing presence and contributions of Chinese and women composers in today's musical culture.
