"After celebrations of the Mendelssohn bicentennial last year, the spotlight has shifted to this year’s Schumann and Chopin anniversaries. But the pianist Emanuel Ax, the cellist Yo-Yo Ma and the violinist Itzhak Perlman shifted attention back to Mendelssohn for much of their “Live From Lincoln Center” broadcast from the Kaplan Penthouse on Wednesday evening."
Watching Emanuel Ax play at the Paramount this year was nothing short of a benediction. Precisely on account of the anniversaries mentioned, he played a program of Chopin and Schumann. This must have been a wonder. Oh, Lincoln Center.
