This concert pairs two major works by Fauré for piano and strings, written forty years apart. It offers a striking contrast between the irresistible youthful energy of the First Quartet, Op. 15, completed in 1879, and the austere polyphony of the Second Quintet, Op. 115, begun in 1919. Preceding each of these are two pieces for violin and piano: the delicate Nocturne by Reynaldo Hahn and the more expansive Poème élégiaque by Eugène Ysaÿe, dedicated to Fauré and subtly echoing his wandering harmonies.
