The 92Y Concert Season is in full swing, and we’ve received some great reviews recently. A selection of those are below:

New York Times, November 10, 2009, Plunging Though Musical Thickets and Open Plains:

During chamber music concerts, even if the whole performance is first-rate, there is sometimes one riveting moment in which the ensemble seems particularly cohesive. When the excellent Keller Quartet made its debut at the 92nd Street Y on Sunday afternoon, that moment came in the slow movement of Beethoven’s String Quartet in F (Op. 135).

Ms. DeYoung is a powerful singer with a warm, seductive tone that she used to consistently fine effect. Her rendering of Brahms’s “Geistliches Wiegenlied” had a meltingly gentle core, and she brought subtle changes in coloration to the seven songs in Dvorak’s “Zigeunermelodien.” But she was at her most highly charged in the closing Strauss group, which included a steamy performance of “Heimliche Aufforderung” and an impassioned account of “Cäcilie.”

Sharon Robinson and artist manager Frank Salomon assembled a consortium of 12 presenters to share costs and stage performances over two seasons, starting with the work’s April 28, 2009 premiere at New York City’s 92nd Street Y.  The repeated performances not only give the work a wider airing than it would get from a single commissioner; they allow the interpretation itself to mature and deepen.
