Wunderkinder, misc

Friday morning I headed downtown to catch a couple 12 year-old German pianists, Elisabeth Brauss and Kiveli Doerken, perform works of Liszt, Chopin, and Mendelssohn at the Fazioli Salon Series. Wrong notes were all over the place, specifically in the Chopin preludes, but their musical instincts were astounding and way ahead of their years! Speaking of young German women, I reviewed Julia Fischer's Beethoven concert last week. and it was super-duper. Last of all, our final Cyber Classical playlist of 2007, show #55 :Lutoslawski, Witold.
