	The Guarneri String Quartet

Past, Present, and Future
For nearly four decades, the Guarneri String Quartet has stood as a cornerstone of the musical world, beloved as much for its majestic playing as for its technical aplomb. Bill McGlaughlin welcomes the renowned foursome to Saint Paul Sunday this week for a personal and musical glimpse into its past, present, and future. We'll hear late work by Haydn, an early work by Mendelssohn, and Debussy's radiant G minor String Quartet, the composer's sole venture in the form. In the words of one admirer,"Some things, like the Guarneri, are as good as it gets."

	Jorja Fleezanis and Cyril Huvé

Harmony of the Spheres
The musical soundworld in which Ludwig van Beethoven composed might surprise us today with its relative intimacy and transparency. This week on Saint Paul Sunday, two extraordinary artists, violinist Jorja Fleezanis and fortepianist Cyril Huvé, come together to bring that world alive for us on instruments Beethoven would have known in his own day. The collaboration restores an often breathtaking clarity to three of his sonatas.

	Lang Lang

Though just 20, the pianist Lang Lang has already established himself an international classical artist of the highest order. This week on Saint Paul Sunday his full command is on display—one encompassing tenderness (Johannes Brahms’s beloved Opus 118 pieces), pyrotechnic virtuosity (Mily Balakirev’s dazzling “Islamey"), and nobility (sonata music of Franz Joseph Haydn). Lang Lang inhabits each of these spheres with the conviction and wisdom of a master. Don’t miss him

An enchanting collaboration began when renowned flutist Paula Robison-“first lady of the flute"-joined forces with two friends from Brazil, guitarist Romero Lubambo and percussionist Cyro Baptista. The trio visits Saint Paul Sunday this week, conjuring up nights in Rio with Brazilian music from the choro tradition scored for flute, guitar, and a host of unusual percussion instruments. They also take us to Paris on the wings of their own version of Debussy’s “Clair de lune."
