The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, live 1982

The Emerson Quartet
Walter Trampler, second viola

Wolfgang Mozart: String Quintet in g, K. 516
Ludwig van Beethoven: String Quartet in C, op. 59/3, “Rasumovsky”
George Crumb: Vox balaenae (Voice of the Whale)

For many decades now, the CMSLC has been a somewhat fluid group of musicians, originally all members of the New York Philharmonic, that the Lincoln Center draws from each season to perform chamber works involving a wide range of instruments. This evening, most likely from the 1982 season, assembled five strings, a flute, and a piano to present one piece each from the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries, all surprisingly well suited to each other.

(Por si la palabra «aircheck» no se traduce bien, sabed que significa una grabación sacada de la radio, a veces de un evento difundido en vivo, más comúnmente de un evento grabado en vivo para emitirse otro día. De costumbre los airchecks se identifican por las siglas de la radiodifusora y la fecha de emisión.)

Mozart pianoforte Badura-Skoda

With his unusual combination of musicology, museology, and performance, Paul Badura-Skoda kicked the original-instruments movement into overdrive so fast that his competitors felt it necessary to disparage his playing. There is nothing wrong with his playing in this recording, in which we hear rare pieces he found performed on a period instrument he owns.
