Stunning chamber version of Gustav MAHLER’s iconic masterpiece, based on his hauntingly beautiful song, “The Heavenly Life” featuring Metropolitan Opera soprano, Sara Heaton

Better Than Beethoven

Ludwig von BEETHOVEN Piano Trio No. 1 in Eb and Louis SPOHR Grand Nonet in F
Though they were not close friends, Beethoven and Louis Spohr had a relationship marked by mutual respect and professional interaction. Spohr admired Beethoven’s early works and championed pieces like the Op. 18 String Quartets. During their lifetimes, many considered Spohr to be Beethoven’s equal, if not his superior. Spohr eventually became critical of Beethoven’s late works, especially the Ninth Symphony and the late string quartets, finding them overly complex. He was not alone in his critiques but, 200 years later, conventional wisdom has decided otherwise.

Johannes BRAHMS String Sextet No. 2 in G and Richard STRAUSS Sextet from ‘Capriccio’
Brahms’s G Major Sextet stands as a pinnacle of his chamber music output, universally admired for its emotional depth, haunting mysterious beauty and an unrivaled rich string sonority. The work is tinged with a bittersweet tone, partly inspired by Brahms’ failed romance with Agathe von Siebold, whose name is encoded in the first movement with the notes AG-A-H-E.

Opening the program will be Mozart’s Horn Concerto No. 2, one of four works he composed for Mozart’s father’s close friend, horn virtuoso Joseph Leutgeb. Artistic Director, Ronnie Bauch’s father, Jason, was a Cantor and composer. In this 100th anniversary of his birth, the group will perform his string quartet on Jewish themes. Closing the program will be Dvorak’s beloved Piano Quintet, Op. 81, one of the most celebrated chamber works of the Romantic repertoire, known for its masterful blend of expressive lyricism and Czech folk elements, which Dvorak somehow found time to write in between raising six children with his wife Anna, who also played the piano and sang.

Winterlude 2026:
THE ARCHDUKE
Beethoven’s Piano Trio in Bb, Op. 97, “The Archduke”, dedicated to Archduke Rudolph of Austria, his patron and friend, which is how the work got its nickname, is considered a crowning achievement of Beethoven’s “heroic” Middle Period and marked a turning point in his exploration of harmony and chamber music form. It signaled new directions for both Beethoven and future composers of piano trios.​ Celebrated as one of the greatest chamber music pieces in history, notable for its grandeur, emotional depth, and innovative structure, it features a four-movement symphonic design, a lyrical and spacious style, and a profound and emotionally resonant third movement, which many consider the heart of the entire work.​ Rounding out the program is a charming trio by Franz Joscph Haydn, who’s own brilliance and accomplishments made Beethoven’s innovations possible, and a wonderfully kaleidoscopic trio, for flute, horn and piano, by Eric Ewazen, a beneficiary of both earlier composers, which is full of dramatic flourishes, gentle, expressive melodies and energetic, dance-like rhythmic interplay.

***PROGRAM***

Stunning virtuosity, satire and lyricism are the hallmarks of Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 1, the featured work on this program. With lean, transparent piano writing closer to Mozart than to the lush late-Romantic concertos, this piece is often considered a double concerto because of its prominent solo trumpet line.
