Chausson: Concerto in D major for Violin, Piano, and String Quartet, Op. 21

SOMETHING TO KNOW:

This work has an unusual instrumentation that may be unique in the entire chamber music literature—essentially a violin and piano sonata accompanied by a string quartet.

SOMETHING TO LISTEN FOR:

The third movement, an impassioned slow movement, shows the composer baring his deepest, most profound emotions.
