The unaugmented Aizuri Quartet -- an ensemble that's been as ubiquitous this year as bassist Nick Dunston (and as welcome!) -- plays Caroline Shaw's marvelous Blueprint, a piece as marvelous -- as listenable yet surprising and distinctive -- as just about everything this marvelous composer writes. Augmented configurations then play two of the best pieces of chamber music in the canon: Mozart's final String Quintet (one of those very late pieces that make you realize Mozart died just when he was getting good) and Brahms'sPiano Quintet -- pieces you never ever tire of hearing. Nice!
