...Boston Premiere of Cruckman's "Chiaroscuro," and Respighi again (minus "Festa Romane"). Here's your chance to hear the Respighi--interesting works evoking Roman splendor; the concerts are Friday at 2, Saturday at 8:30, and Tuesday at 7:30. The BU Symphony concert features the exciting Piano Concerto No. 1 by Brahms and "Firebird Suite" by Stravinsky. It's Friday...
...career, from concert soloist to conductor, competition judge, enthusiastic festival leader and dedicated teacher of children. Nowhere in "Unfinished Journey" does he give an exhaustive discussion of technique. Instead, there are brief illuminations offered without a trace of condescension: an intriguing commentary on the opening bars of the Beethoven concerto, one of the fruits of Menuhin's own groping "from intuition through intellectual analysis to restored spontaneity," hints on teaching correct fluidity of motion and allusions to his practise of Yoga as an aid to technique. Finally, Menuhin offers a felicitous exploration of his own supreme art, almost shyly...

Johann Sebastian Bach: Violin Concertos in E and A-minor; Concerto for Two Violins in D-minor; Air from Suite No. 3 in D (Henryk Szeryng and Maurice Hasson, Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, Neville Marriner conductor, Philips). Bach was the field marshal of the concerto form, regimenting the fluid lines of such Italian masters as Vivaldi and Corelli into complex string masterpieces. Szeryng, the Polish-born virtuoso, and Second Fiddle Hasson demonstrate great authority within Bach's polyphonic ranks. Their counterpoint in the double concerto is superb, as is the accompaniment led throughout by Neville Marriner...
