ANAM Harmonies Du Soir: Poème

Harmonies Du Soir. A festival of French chamber music. A beautiful way to bring the year together.

Two young artists, one a painter and one a musician, both in love with the same woman, compelled and tormented by a single violin melody. It’s no wonder that this story, from Ivan Turgenev’s novella Le Chant de l’amour triomphant (‘The Song of Triumphant Love’), provided inspiration for Ernest Chausson’s haunting Poème, with the violin soloist echoing the novella’s recurring theme. His earlier Concert for violin, piano and string quintet exists in a similar emotive world, blending chamber intimacy with symphonic scale, a balance noted by critics at its 1892 premiere.
