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

I'm Kristin Lee, and in today's program, we delve into the intimate and heartwarming sounds of the early Romantic period with composers Felix Mendelssohn and Franz Schubert.

Both are known for their ability to create simple, yet evocative melodies, of which there is no better example than Mendelssohn's "Songs Without Words".

Pianist Anne-Marie McDermott's poignant and lyrical performance of the two songs featured here is absolutely stunning.

These are paired with one of the most beloved pieces in the chamber music repertoire, Schubert's "Cello Quintet".

The heart of this work is the second movement in which Schubert conjures a sublime melody accompanied by a small rhythmic gesture from the first violin and the lonely pizzicatos from the second cello.

It's simply heavenly.

Enjoy.
