Into the luminous setting of Harkness Chapel, with its Tiffany stained glass windows and exquisite acoustics, bursts the volcanic energy of an irrepressible sextet inspired by techno beats, followed by a violin sonata “in Romanian folk style” that feels like a freely evolving improvisation. Imbued with a rich autumnal tone, Arensky’s sumptuous piano trio moves through torrents of stormy bravado before coming to a tenderly nostalgic close.
