Concert Reviews

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.

We may not know what the real-life mother of Jesus of Nazareth was like, but she would surely have been amazed by the honors bestowed upon her through music like this.

The often meditative music included the world premiere of a substantial new work for two pianos, two percussionists, and viola.

Ma's impressive recital was an almost nonstop whirlwind of effervescent power.

This was of the most satisfying chamber music performances I've experienced in NYC this year.
