It is the tremendous talent collected at the TMC that allows monumental works of the chamber music repertoire to be put together in short periods of time and to such a high degree of excellence. Faculty member Andrew Jennings prepared both Beethoven’s String Quartet Op. 135 – the slow movement of which receives a performance of miraculous tenderness, with only the softest of touch – and Second String Force by TMC faculty member Joan Tower, performed here by New Fromm Player Chi Li. TMC Head of Chamber Music and cellist Norman Fischer coached Schubert’s Octet – another remarkable slow movement of sentiment and delicacy – and Weinberg’s Piano Quintet, in which Fischer plays as well, adding another dimension to the Fellows’ experience. And the Mendelssohn (is there a more joyous first movement of any work anywhere?) was prepared by visiting TMC faculty member Yo-Yo Ma, always an unforgettable experience for those Fellows that work him.
Available August 2, 2020 at 10am Eastern / 7am Pacific, through August 9.
