Currier House Fishbowl is the setting fog the Currier Concerto Concert on Sunday, May 7. Pianist Richard Kogan, soprano' Tamara Mitchel, and violinist Stephen Chan join in a recital of Grieg, Wagner and Bach, conducted by Louis Karchin, at 8:30 pm. These are all experienced and refined performers, so it's worth the $1 payable at the door. Rounding out the week in a big and noisy way, the traditional Open Reading of the 1812 Overture by Tchaikowsky takes place also on Sunday with rehearsal at 1:30 and a performance at 3 pm. All musicians--bring your...
...Kogan, the student who rendered a St. Saens work so nicely in an HRO concert earlier this spring, will perform in a piano recital on Friday, May 12, at 8:30 pm, in Adams Lower Common Room. Kogan's performance of works of Beethoven, Chopin, Debussy and Schumann should be just as fine and convincing as his HRO performance...
...weeks after achieving a roaring success playing a Saint-Saens concerto with the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra, Roy Kogan was back on the Sanders stage Saturday night. This time he played Mozart's 21st piano concerto, K. 467, a work which lacks much of the flamboyance and virtuosity of the high French romantic style, and which is therefore much more difficult to bring off convincingly. As before, Kogan generated a great deal of excitement with his fluid dexterity and remarkable technique, but he also responded well to the subtler musical challenges of Mozart. Throughout the first two movements he demonstrated...
...orchestra never imposed on Kogan's domination of the performance, but under Wilkins's meticulous direction its playing was accurately synchronized with the soloist's. During Wilkins's two-year tenure as its director, the Bach Society has played a considerable amount of Mozart, and now the experience of both conductor and musicians is bearing fruit. The strings exhibited the same cleanliness of ornamentation and sensitivity to dynamic shading as they had shown in the Purcell piece; their playing, like that of the high woodwinds and the timpani, was clean and light. The orchestra and its conductor, as well...
...Presto finale, Kogan again handled the improvisational parts and the entire movement easily and clearly, exciting the audience with a relentless, surging Tarantella. The orchestra, particularly in the expansive violin sections, played almost as well as Kogan. The orchestra as a whole was not quite as precise as Kogan, occasionally sounding muddled, but kept up the light and jovial pace and achieved an impressive, full sound almost throughout the piece, especially in the last movement...
