Week Four

FANTASY FINALE
Sunday, August 22, 6:30 pm
Bridgehampton Presbyterian Church

From Haydn comes a piano trio that provoked comment for its “bold harmonic sequences”—a masterly work from a figure we love for being predictably unpredictable. A new work arrives from lyrically inclined Russell Platt, and we sample Vaughan Williams’ Phantasy Quintet, a youthful outpouring filled with the folkloric flavor that would become that composer’s signature. It’s balanced by a quintet Brahms wrote when he was 57, though a friend wrote to him: “The person who can have invented all this must be in a happy frame of mind! One feels you must have been celebrating, say, your thirtieth birthday.”
