Brahms Violin/Cello Double Concerto Subaiou Carter, violin, Johnny Mok, cello Schubert Symphony No. 8 (Unfinished) Rimsky Korsakov Russian Easter Overture

Legendary Dutch cellist Pieter Wispelwey, praised by The New York Times for his “unusually complete grasp of the music,” joins acclaimed pianist Pei-Shan Lee, whose playing has been called “ravishing and insightful” by The Boston Globe, for a powerful exploration of one of chamber music’s greatest collections of masterpieces.
