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

(opera singer singing) I'm Kristin Lee, and today's program is bookended by two beautiful pieces from the vocal chamber music repertoire.

We begin with Ernest's Chausson's melancholic and heartfelt "Chanson perpetuelle", which creates a beautiful texture from the piano quintet while the mezzo soprano is in dialogue with the strings.

We'll follow that with a piece featuring viola and clarinet, two instruments often compared to the human voice.

Robert Schumann's "Fairy Tales" finds clarinetist Romie de Guise-Langlois and violist Paul Neubauer conversing with sincerity in a way that evokes human conversation.

We'll conclude the program with one of the most beloved song cycles ever written.

Schumann's "Dichterliebe."

It's hard to keep the tears from falling while listening to this very moving performance by Paul Appleby and Ken Noda.

Enjoy this intimate program of works by Chausson and Schumann.
