MOZART, KODALY, & ARENSKY

Mozart Piano Concerto no. 12 in A major, K. 414

Kodaly Serenade for Two Violins and Viola, op. 12 LISTEN

Arensky Six Children's Pieces for Piano, Four Hands, op. 34

Arensky Quartet no. 2 in A minor for Violin, Viola, and Two Cellos, op. 35

Julian Rhee, James Thompson, Danbi Um, violins; Paul Neubauer, viola; Nicholas Canellakis, David Finckel, cellos; Michael Stephen Brown, Wu Han, pianos

Here’s a classically elegant program with spice. Mozart’s own arrangement of his Piano Concerto is masterful and mysterious. For contrast, Kodály’s Serenade expresses Hungarian folk tunes with fiery execution. Arensky’s children’s songs sighs with innocence, before we end on his dark-hued and rarely performed Cello Quartet.
