Live Broadcast on November 19, 2020. Part of the 10-concert subscription series.
Program
Schumann, Movements 2 & 3 from String Quartet in A Major, Op. 41, No. 3 (1842).
Brahms, Piano Quintet in F Minor, Op. 34 (1864).
Even during these COVID times when I seldom go anywhere, I still had trouble catching too many of these 92Y concerts live. Go figure. In any case, I caught up with this later in the evening, thus both "viewed" and "live" dates are November 19.
Another enjoyable concert. Only remark I had was about Bronfman's appearance: he appeared thinner, not as impeccably groomed as he used to be for the live concerts I attended (most notable was his somewhat unkempt hair, which was a lot whiter than I expected), and didn't push himself up as much. Overall, he looked a lot healthier.
The quartet only played two of Schumann's four movements: Assai agitato and Adagio molto. Brahms's quintet also has four movements: (I) Allegro non troppo; (II) Andante, un poco adagio; (III) Scherzo: Allegro; and (IV) Finale: Poco sostenuto - Allegro non troppo - Presto, non troppo.
For the Brahms piece, I was following along with the score.
