Johannes Brahms’ Quintet for clarinet and strings, a timeless masterwork, will bring back Rane Moore, who shone in last year’s Dreams and Prayers concert. The program begins with a piano trio by Haydn, architect of high classicism, that features flute rather than violin (D Major, Hob. XV:16). Sofia Gubaidulina’s blazing originality is already evident in her early Piano Quintet, which reveals her origins as a soviet composer under the sway of mentors like Shostakovich, but still bursts with her own unique talent and energy.
