New Jersey Symphony. Xian Zhang, conductor; Daniil Trifonov, piano. January 6, 2023.
[…] couple of remarks. First was both Brahms concertos are on the long side at around 50 minutes, although with a great performance time went by quickly. The second was this duet between the cello and the piano in the slow movement: one wishes the two instruments are in more balance - in this instance the cello was way too loud, even though Spitzer put out a great sound. I discovered with amusement that Principal Flute Feller also doubled as a piccolo player for this piece. NJ Symphony does have someone listed under "Piccolo" in its roster.For encore we heard a lyrical duet between Trifonov and Spitzer.Trifonov and Principal Cellist Spitzer after performing a lyrical encore.Don Juan was the first work by Strauss that was popular world-wide.

Dark thoughts & anarchic energy: Six Degrees of Separation represents the response of six young composers to 2020
[…] string trio, piano and dual percussion has two planes of operation, a grounded reality (initially the strings) and a halo of 'unreal' (pitched percussion and piano). The initial sounds are delectably seductive, but the drama comes as the two realms exert a pull on each other, transforming over time with McCormack's background as a recording engineer coming into the soundworld of the piece. The final work in the disc has Richard Dadd’s painting The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke as one of its inspirations.
