(bright music) (serene music) (bright staccato music) - Welcome to "In Concert with CMS."

My name is Kristin Lee, and today you are in for a true mindblower of an episode.

A collection of 20th-century gems performed spiritedly by CMS artists.

(serene wind music) The first two works are wind quintets by undeniable greats.

One of the most emotive voices in American classical music, Samuel Barber- (slow serene wind music) And the genius Hungarian experimentalist, György Ligeti.

(bright serene wind music) These pieces bubble with life, full of intricate melodic exchanges and striking timbres.

(gentle bright wind music) A stunning closer to this week's program is a pillar of classical music in any period.

(spirited dramatic string music) Arnold Schoenberg's "Verklärte Nacht," or "Transfigured Night," one of the most mystical and visionary instrumental works at the turn of the 20th century.

(slow dramatic string music) This team of CMS artists gives this piece their all, wringing a very personal sense of drama out of Schoenberg's musical language.

(somber string music) I hope you feel as inspired as I do after watching these startling and beautiful performances.
