Catherine Cho (violin), Hsin-Yun Huang (viola), Natasha Brofsky (cello) and Robert McDonald (piano) hardly ever appear together, not because they are too busy on the concert circuit, but because they are too busy teaching or in the recording studio and rarely perform in public at all. So their virtuosic perfectionism last night at the Juilliard School with incredibly difficult pieces by Haydn, Stucky and Brahms seemed to amaze the audience as much as it quite evidently delighted their students. I went home wondering if maybe the best performers in the world are not those we always see on the stage but those lurking in the college halls and studio rehearsal rooms.
