Enjoy great chamber works recorded live at the Chamber Music Festival.
The Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival is known for its enduring commitment to tradition, artistic excellence, innovation, and vision. This radio series draws performances from the most recent summer festival in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Each broadcast hour contains two-to-three works representing the Festival’s commitment to core repertoire, as well as underperformed and newly-composed works. Performers provide commentary about the festival, their experience in Santa Fe, and the music.
Dvořák & Zelenka
This week features the harmonic inventiveness of two pivotal Czech composers. It’s a musical hour that holds Dvorak’s String Sextet in A Major, with its lively melodies and dances, and a Baroque Trio Sonata for Oboe, Bassoon, Violin, and continuo by Zelenka.
Season Finale: Wolf, Janáček, and Mendelssohn
The broadcast season finale from the Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival begins with baritone Benjamin Appl singing ‘Silent Love’ from Wolf’s Eichendorff Lieder. John Storgårds and Kirill Gerstein perform Janáček’s Sonata for Violin and Piano. Then, pianist Jon Kimura Parker, violinist Yura Lee, and cellist Narek Hakhnazaryan round off the program with the D minor Piano Trio by Mendelssohn.
