Seattle Symphony: Bach & Janáček

Bedřich Smetana — Piano Trio in G minor, Op. 15
Karol Szymanowski — Three Myths for violin and piano, Op. 30
Leoš Janáček — String Quartet No. 2 "Intimate Letters"
Johann Sebastian Bach — Selected works

Smetana – Piano Trio
Bach – Sonata for Viola da Gamba No. 1 in G major
Szymanowski – Three Myths for piano and violin
Janáček – String Quartet No. 2, “Intimate Letters”

Janáček’s musical love letter to a young paramour sizzles with romantic fervor and soul-baring intimacy. Obsession of another sort surfaces in Szymanowski’s impressionistic take on Greek myths, including self-absorbed Narcissus. Smetana’s hard-charging Piano Trio channels his fierce Czech patriotism. Featuring the talented musicians of the Seattle Symphony performing chamber works in the intimate Illsley Ball Nordstrom Recital Hall.
