The Guarneri Quartet plays the Complete Beethoven String Quartets
[…] set's driven tempos and hard-edged ensemble; others might incline toward the later set's judicious tempos and smooth-cornered ensemble. There's no doubting the earnestness of either set's performances: Arnold Steinhardt, John Dalley, Michael Tree, and David Soyer are masterful musicians and ardent individualists who mean what they say and do what they say they'll do.

Do we place more importance on the descriptive words in a piece, or a mechanical division of the minute?

Jerome Rose – A Man with a Pianistic Vision
[…] way of inspiration.” It is exactly this idea of learning and performing together that Rose has always intended to embed into his lifelong pianistic career. The high standard of musicianship and the diverse and immensely cultured personalities of his fellow artists at Marlboro made Rose want to carry the flame: “Being placed in a setting with many of the greatest talents of our time – James Levine, Van Cliburn, Claude Frank, Alexander Schneider of the Budapest Quartet, and so many others … and then the production of ‘Cosi fan Tutte’ in the cafeteria … the camaraderie … it was exhilarating,” he recalls. It was at Marlboro where he had the cathartic experience of how the love for music can become eternally transcendent, something he also aspired to impart onto the younger generation. Beyond the cultural impact of his festivals, Rose certainly achieved this through his influence as a pedagogue. Among […]
