...Boston Chamber Music Society emerged on stage to push subscriptions on the already over-subscribed audience, it was clear that Saturday night's concert at Sanders Theatre was more an "event" than a chamber music concert. This atmosphere was only reinforced by the nature of the programming. The violinist Stephanie Chase was slated to play in each work, first Bartok's First Sonata for Violin and Piano, then the Brahms Horn Trio, and finally the Beethoven Septet. While programming for a single performer might be acceptable even in a chamber music concert, the flagrant insertion of Bartok's Sonata into...
Bartok's First Violin Sonata, while heavily influenced by the atonality of Schoenberg, abounds with injunctions of "espressivo" and "appasionato". A listener not aware of this might have thought from Chase's performance that Bartok, desiring some special effect, had ordered the violinist to play dispassionately, and vibrato only selectively if at all.

Maxime, a man of affairs, is now involved with the accomplished young violinist Camille (Emmanuelle Beart). "It's a new experience," he notes, "admiring someone I love." Stephane is Maxime's opposite: he has a stillness that consoles men and attracts women. "You're very reticient," Camille says, and he replies, "A bit"; Stephane is too reticent even to admit he's reticent. He may be a little in love with Camille -- "I like watching you talk," is all he says...
