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

The Greek lyra player and pianist offer six arrangements based on the "Romanian Folk Dances" of Béla Bartók, along with four dreamy original compositions.

Klezmer music inspired a dazzling three-movement work by Noah Bendix-Balgley, who takes the tradition to new ground. The program also included dances famously reimagined by Bartók and Brahms.

Parlando explored the music of the night, from peaceful to panicky, through Mozart, Bartók, Fauré, and Takemitsu.

The superb musicians of the Chiara offered Pierre Jalbert's fine new String Quartet No. 6 and, with Palmer, Brahms' Clarinet Quintet at the Metropolitan Museum.

The musicians established their interlocked feels for the ebb and flow of the music right off. With grace and power they brought out the Romantic spirit of the music as well as the proto-Modernism in Brahms's unexpected harmonies and transitions.

The composer integrated modern 20th century styles and folk music from North Africa and elsewhere in his six string quartets.
