Allegro ma non troppo Cast Joshua Bell — Violinist Irène Duval — Violinist Blythe Teh Engstroem — Violist Steven Isserlis — Cellist Jeremy Denk — Pianist Pierre Génisson — Clarinetist Chamber music supergroups abound in this Romantic program, beginning with Brahms’s late Clarinet Trio in A Minor, a showcase here for clarinetist Pierre Génisson in which the music makes it sound, in the words of Brahms’s close friend Eusebius Mandyczewski, “as if the instruments are in love with each other.“ A work by Brahms’s friend and mentor Robert Schumann closes the program: the genre-creating, era-defining Piano Quintet, written in a five-day burst of inspiration during Schumann’s remarkably productive 1842 and brought to you here by Joshua Bell and Irène Duval on violin, Blythe Teh Engstroem on viola, Steven Isserlis on cello, and Denk at the piano.
