Charles Ives’s playfully frightful Hallowe’en sets the stage for a program of startling surprise. Composed in the aftermath of the second World War, Shostakovich’s wildly original third string quartet opens on a cheeky note. Ensuing movements describe a ghostly waltz before fierce “gunshots” introduce a musical battle; we hear an eloquent elegy for the war’s lost souls before a spooky cello solo recalls previous themes in a haunting finale. And who was Johanna Senfter, a cipher in the annals of musicology? Max Reger, the esteemed German pedagogue, considered her his finest pupil. Despite her prodigious output, Senfter’s self-imposed hermitry kept her name and works hidden from the world. Her spellbinding piano quartet reveals an imagination and intellect equal to those of her celebrated contemporaries. May she rise again!
