(dramatic music) (lively music) - Welcome to "In Concert With CMS".

I'm Kristin Lee.

(gentle piano music) French classical music of the late 19th and early 20th centuries has an unmistakable musical style.

In today's program, we explore this rich sonic world through the music of Claude Debussy and Gabrielle Faure.

We begin with two intimate pieces for solo piano by Debussy performed magnificently by pianist, Michael Steven Brown.

Debussy's harmonic language creates endless colors that enrapture the listener.

(gentle piano music) And speaking of harmonic language, there's no other composer who uses harmony quite like Gabrielle Faure.

In his "Piano Quartet No.

2" in G minor, Faure circles through chromatic harmonies to such an extent that you actually forget which key you're in.

This sensational performance will take you on a colorful journey.
