In Friendship and Memory explores the intimate world of friendship through music, tracing a personal thread of affection, memory and artistic kinship. Carlos Guastavino’s Mis Amigos is an enchanting set of ten musical portraits of friends, while each of Lili Boulanger’s evocative and poignant Trois Morceaux is dedicated to a dear friend of the composer. Brahms’ Variations on a Theme by Schumann, Op. 9, written during his deep friendship with Robert and Clara Schumann, form a poignant homage to a mentor in decline.
