Tonight, three superb chamber works full of emotion and gusto! Debussy's beloved Rhapsodie, written as a test-piece for the Paris Conservatoire, is a magnificent mature work. Jonathan Crow and Philip Chiu will bring all their virtuosity to John Corigliano's muscular and generous sonata. And finally our string quartet takes on Bartók's exciting and demanding fifth quartet.
