Villarosa Genevieve Murphy Marjorie C. Hague Max Elliott George Winn All Seasons Chamber Players (continued from page 8) whose brief explanations of the pieces were a highlight of the performances second only to the music, explained that “dumky” is the plural of the Ukrainian word “dubka,” a type of folk song that alternates between intense sadness and sprightly mirth. Dvorak’s work reflected the Slavic heritage of gloomy introspection punctuated by moments of perhaps defiant merriment. The performance captured the themes beautifully. The second piece, “Undine,” for flute and piano, was the work of Carl Reinecke, a Dane who studied in Hamburg, Germany, and was later the leader of the Gewandhaus in Dresden from 1860 to 1895, as a successor of Felix Mendelssohn. “Undine” tells the story that Hans Christian Andersen made famous as “The Little Mermaid,” though Lawrence explained that the mermaid story was actually based on Greek mythology. (In Norse, Germanic, and Slavic myths, mermaids usually drown their suitors.) Schiller-Audi and Sakofsky interacted, back in forth, to capture the good little mermaid’s moods -- early contentment, subsequent turmoil, and ultimate despondency. “It doesn’t end well,” Lawrence said of the mermaid’s love for the mortal prince. The performance, however, ended very well, and the audience applauded warmly. Perhaps most peripheral, but highly appreciated, was the tango-flavored “Four Seasons of Buenos Aires,” by Astor Piazzolla, an Italian who grew up in Brooklyn, New York and later in Argentina. While studying with the legendary Nadia Boulanger in Paris, Piazzolla was told that his proficient compositions all sounded like somebody else’s music and failed to capture the essence of who he was. Piazzolla began to write works with an Argentine flavor and Boulanger and the rest of Paris expressed delight. Piazzolla reportedly burned his previous works, but “Four Seasons of Buenos Aires” was well worth saving. “Summer” is intense yet lively. “Autumn” features deep, sonorous cello music which Hassman brought to life superbly, as she did with the introspective “Winter,” interfacing with Schiller-Audi’s piano. “Spring,” by contrast, was almost frenetic, especially as brought to life by Lawrence’s flawless violin performance. The group received extended applause. The All Seasons Chamber Players, professional musicians of high caliber, have performed as individuals around the world: Lawrence in Stuttgart, Siena, and Spoleto; Hassman at Lincoln Center and as a backer of Barbra Streisand; Sakofsky in Mexico; and Schiller-Audi with members of the New York Philharmonic. Jean Strickholm, the group’s usual pianist and harpsichordist, is on leave, but is expected to return to Ridgewood in the near future. Joan Ruth Sears McGilvray of Ridgewood, Oct. 15. She was 86.
