          And speaking of superlatives, at the Goethe-Institut, pianist Sergey Schepkin, one of the founding members of the Chameleon Arts Ensemble (and an artist who should be a lot better known than most of the current crop of celebrity pianists), has returned to Boston from a stint in Pittsburgh, and joined another co-founder, violinist Joanna Kurkowicz (maybe best known here as concertmaster of the Boston Philharmonic), in a thrilling — full-bodied, warm-blooded, rhythmically slippery (a friend called it “devilish”) — Beethoven A-minor Violin Sonata (a scintillating precursor of the later and more famous Kreutzer Sonata). These old musical partners seemed to be breathing the same air, reading each other’s minds. I didn’t want it to end. Collapse

          “From wild spring air’’ was the title of the fifth and final concert of Chameleon Arts Ensemble’s 13th season, but on Saturday night, the playing at a packed Goethe-Institut matched the weather outside: warm and pungent, with a more than a hint of rainy sorrow. The program from this all-star lineup of chamber musicians was typically imaginative and eclectic, a gathering of B’s not Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms, but Samuel Barber, Derek Bermel, Beethoven, and Ernest Bloch.
