Music Review of Boston Symphony Chamber Players in Tan glewood Series
The Boston Symphony Chamber Players offered a strong second Tan glewood appearance with nine musicians performing Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms and Elliott Carter in a chamber music program. Highlights included the Beethoven Serenade for flute violin and viola with refined playing, the superb Mozart Quintet in E flat major with vivid piano color from Claude Frank, and Brahms Piano Quartets Op 60 where Frank’s vigor balanced with chamber nuance. Carter’s Quintet for Five Winds from 1948 impressed with angular, witty passages and easy ensemble among wind players. The audience applauded vociferously as Carter joined on stage.
