Terrific evening at the W... Not so keen on the violin sonata (piece or perfomance?) but with the first notes of the trio, the spirit of delight settled and remained till the exhilarating end of the last piece, the piano quartet no. 1. Michel Dalberto was a more engaging pianist in the second half than Nicholas Angelich in the first. Having the brothers Capuçon with the mercurial, wise old gent Gerard Caussé between them, exchanging wonderful phrase after phrase and Dalberto behind them delivering such characterful support, just a few feet in front of us - rare pleasure

Yes, it was a superb concert. I enjoyed the violin sonata as well. There was a good Discovering Music in the interval about the piano quartet, and it was interesting to hear Dalberto playing a Bechstein rather than the Wigmore Steinway, producing some limpid and delicate sounds especially in the piano quartet. The Capucons are so good in this music (their complete chamber music set was mentioned recently in the Bargains thread).Comment

I remember Dalberto from a Leeds piano competetion 'back in the day' (as they say). I enjoyed what I heard but I'll give it another go today.

I have the Brilliant box of Dalberto playing the complete Schubert sonatas. Great value. Cost 4d, if I rememberOriginally posted by amateur51 View Post
It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment

One of the results of the recent R3 cuts was that the evening concert would sometimes be a chamber recital rather than full orchestra. Not a bad cut for some of us ...It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal.

I forgot to mention that last night. Yes, really good to see a big Bechstein back in the hall, and Dalberto brought out the best in itOriginally posted by aeolium View Post
