Bach’s “Art of the Fugue” on “The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center”

Beethoven’s Op.20 Septet for Winds and Strings and Dvorak’s Opus 81 Piano Quintet
I love lists of 'rankings'! Dvorak's Piano Quintet is ranked 15th while Beethoven's Septet is ranked 62nd in a poll published by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in 2008. Are those rankings justified? Tune in tonight to hear both. Sorry, there's no ballot to vote upon!
Chamber Music by Korngold, Poulenc, Kodaly and Bach on Tonight’s Evening Concert
Our first two works tonight each have two violins as part of the group, music of Korngold and Kirchner. The second hour is more eclectic, music of Poulenc, Kodaly, and Bach.
