Presenting The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center
A thread of intrigue connects the dramatic works on this fascinating program. A shocking Tolstoy novella is vividly captured in Janácek’s quartet, and the cause of the story’s mayhem — Beethoven’s “Kreutzer” Sonata — concludes the evening. Kreutzer’s beguiling Caprice, and highly-charged works by Beethoven and Prokofiev, complete this concert’s thrilling, theatrical profile.
