Santa Fe Chamber Music Festival presents
Ligeti & Enescu
Description
Three major 20th-century works kick off the last full week of the Festival, beginning with Bartók‘s Benny Goodman–commissioned Contrasts, which, true to its name, contrasts (captivatingly) the sonorities of its three instruments, played here by violinist Ida Kavafian, clarinetist Carol McGonnell, and pianist Soyeon Kate Lee. Next, Berlin Philharmonic Principal Horn Stefan Dohr, violinist William Hagen, and pianist Kirill Gerstein play Ligeti’s Hommage à Brahms Horn Trio, which the composer declared “cannot be pigeonholed into any neat stylistic category [due to its] odd angles and trick floors.” (Dohr, Hagen, and Gerstein play the Brahms work that inspired the Ligeti on August 11.) To close out the program, violinist Chad Hoopes leads Festival musicians in Enescu’s grand Octet, which, like the Octet composed by his fellow child prodigy Felix Mendelssohn, dates to when Enescu was a teenager.
