Paul Watkins Classical Concerts in New York

When a composer returns to a particular genre, there’s likely much more to be said. This program bristles with communicative urgency: from the vaulting cello theme of Brahms, to the hypnotic tone-painting of Arensky, to the euphoric French air of the late Romantic era. Performers: Evren Ozel (Piano); Danbi Um (Violin); Paul Neubauer (Viola); David Finckel (Cello); Paul Watkins (Cello) Program: Johannes Brahms: Sonata No. 2 in F major for Cello and Piano, Op. 99; Anton Arensky: Quartet No. 2 in A minor for Violin, Viola, and Two Cellos, Op. 35; Gabriel Fauré: Quartet No. 2 in G minor for Piano, Violin, Viola, and Cello, Op. 45
