Chang led the concertino of the Corelli "Christmas Concerto" with violinist Robert Coalson and cellist Nestor Cybriwsky. The concerto is not particularly difficulty, but Chang and Coalson played with an enthusiasm and confidence reflected in their music. Unfortunately some very sour notes wafted out from the back rows of the violin section, somewhat spoiling the concerto's beautiful second movement...
...strength of the American soil which she loved so much and understood so well." Thus Violinist Yehudi Menuhin, 57, remembers Cornhusker Willa Cather, who died in 1947. In 1930 Menuhin, then a 14-year-old New York-born musical prodigy, first met the middle-aged novelist from Red Cloud, Neb., in Paris, and a fast friendship was formed.

His two sisters, Pianists Hephzibah, 53, and Yaltah...

...other two members of the concertino, flutist Barbara Jacobson and violinist Ronan Lefkowitz, were excellent in different ways. Jacobson was a model of reserve, barely moving as she played with a rich tone in the modern flute's lower registers. Lefkowitz, far more demonstrative, played the occasionally showy violin part with a good deal of flair. He communicates a sense of awareness of the music, suggesting he has thought about it and knows exactly the sound and effect he wishes to project...
