Concert Reviews

The players showed consummate skill in Beethoven's final string quartet and virtuosic enthusiasm in new music from Jeff Scott.

With his trademark down-home suavity and languid silly-putty phrasing, Lovett alternated songs funny and sincere, soulful and jazzy, bluesy and country (and novelty).

A selection from the 76 pieces of Kwon's "America/Beautiful" project showed the composers' vast range of styles and approaches.

One of our foremost contemporary Bach interpreters, Dinnerstein also consistently celebrates the music of the now 89-year-old Philip Glass.

The maestro of the Indian sarod and the Grammy-winning classical guitarist interlocked sound and spirit of East and West in their collaborations' NYC debut.

Kudos to these musicians and the Chamber Music Society for dusting off an extraordinary creation by Joachim Raff and giving it a fair and muscular airing.

Smith's warm and nimble rendition set the tone: yearning in the slow sections, fiery in the faster ones, and always restrained enough to let Beethoven's notes speak for themselves.

The musicians achieved a lyrical ease, built to a satisfying romantic climax, and ratcheted up the tension...

At his recital debut at Carnegie Hall's Weill Recital Hall, Crosett showed ability and fire to spare, with plenty of charisma and good humor to boot.

Percussionist Bala Skandan's arrangements, performed by his fluid cast of musicians, mingle classical ragas with elements of Western music to create a decidedly unique listening experience.
