Juilliard School Faculty Recital at Paul Hall
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.
