The Viano Quartet continues to amaze listeners nationwide, and their program at CMS shows the remarkable range of their repertoire. After firmly establishing their Classical and Romantic credentials with delightful Haydn and effervescent Mendelssohn, the Viano moves to the 20th century with Webern’s hyper-expressive single movement, followed by Shostakovich’s 9th Quartet, which builds through five interconnected sections to a pinnacle of orchestral intensity.
