A predictably lovely Brahms Trio for Clarinet, Cello and Piano (a minor, Op. 114, 1891), and a surprisingly appealing Saint-Saens Quartet for Piano and Strings (Op 41, 1875). Oddly, the S-S is seldom performed and seems to be unrecorded. I found the 2nd movement particularly engaging.

Highly recommended.

This performance at the New Haven Historical Society featured a glorious Steinway A-2 piano, unlike any we normally hear.
The evening opened with four movements from Max Bruch's Eight Pieces for Clarinet, Viola, and Piano, Op 83 (1910). Though an unusual combination, the sonorities were extremely satisfying.

After intermission, the ensemble performed Messiaen's Quartet for the End of Time (1940), written while he was imprisoned and shaped by the instrumental capabilities of fellow prisoners. I was unfamiliar with the work. I found it captivating.

Highly recommended.

Lovely evening of unfamiliar works. One of the Players' better performances.

Beethoven, Trio for Piano, Clarinet and Cello in B-flat major, Op 11 (1798)
This jaunty trio rings with references to Mozartian opera.

Bartok, Selected Duets from 44 Duets for Two Violins (1931)

Brahms, Quintet for Clarinet and Strings in B minor, Op 115 (1892)
Devastating in its passionate nostalgia.
