J.S. Bach's Cello Suite No. 4 in E-flat ranks as one of the greatest works ever written for the solo cello. Together with the other five cello suites, the Suite in E-flat employs an astounding range of musical challenges; the interpretive task for the performer is great. Tonight we will hear Nigel North, performing not on the cello, but on lute.
Later this evening, we will hear Olivier Messiaen's seminal work "Quartet for the End of Time." We'll also hear a work by Francois Couperin, as well as pieces by less familiar composers Johannes Ockenghem, Gavin Bryars, Ben Yarmolinsky and Artemy Vedel.
