LOWELL LIEBERMAN – Gargoyles, Op. 29

SHOSTAKOVICH – Sonata for Cello and Piano, Op. 40

DEBUSSY – L’isle joyeuse

Pianist Shai Wosner, known for his “remarkable blend of the intellectual, physical and even devilish sides of performance” (Chicago Sun Times), joins members of ECCO for a program of music from the spiritual to the spooky: J. S. Bach’s heavenly chorale preludes; Hungarian composer György Kurtág’s alternately serene and demonic miniatures; and Beethoven’s hair-raising “Ghost” Trio. The program ends back on earth with Max Bruch’s lush, romantic Octet for Strings.

J.S. BACH, arr. GYÖRGY KURTÁG – Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit, BWV 106
