Welcome to In Concert With CMS.

I'm Paula Zahn, and I'm so

happy you could join us for

musical fantasy and romance from

the Chamber Music Society of

Lincoln Center.

We open today's program with a

classic work of J.S.Bach.

His "Chromatic Fantasy and

Fugue" is a virtuosic work for

solo keyboard, featuring a

flurry of ominous and surprising

harmonies.

We then close our program with

Ernest Chausson's "Concerto

in D major for Violin, Piano,

and String Quartet."

This work of grand romanticism

was allegedly referred to by the

composer himself as "another

failure."Well, we beg to

differ. See for yourself.

Enjoy!
