People Are Talking: UMS presents The Hagen Quartet at Rackham Auditorium:
I thought the concert was wonderful and it was like hearing some of these for the very first time. The seemed to breathe together in ways that other quartets don’t. I was also wondering about the “maverick” title, but having listed to many Mozart and Hayden quartets, I could imagine that audiences in 1801 would be taken aback somewhat by the individuality of the voices, particularly the viola and cello.
THank you UMS!!
People Are Talking: UMS presents Les Violins du Roy at Rackham Auditorium:
I was also enchanted by the concert. I agree with more educational material. At the encore, why did the conductor apologize to “all violinists”? Presumably because the piece is usually played on the violin. I would love to hear a comparison clip on the website – one with the violin, one with the recorder. Surely that would pique some interest. I am also sure that children of all ages would have been delighted with last night.
