Extractions: by Jay Nordlinger W begin A-SM Porgy and Bess Her pianist, as usual in these recitals, was Lambert Orkis, who was adequate and largely supportive, but seldom assertive (meaning, helpfully assertive). As a pianist, he has the common tendency of rushing in difficult passages. Why people do this is a mystery, but it is a longstanding fact. Mutter has long been inconsistent; but she has become worryingly more so. Often, she plays like Cecilia Bartoli sings (alarmingly), and she can be as loopy, interpretively, as the latter-day Kathleen Battle. Porgy But surely she must have played Fritz Kreisler Tango, Song, and Dance A Streetcar Named Desire . The concluding Dance is jazz-fueled and kicky. C C The second half of the concert was given over to another C C major, and how many moods he could convey in it. Finally there comes a fugue, which the Guarneri executed deftly. One could see, at last, how they made their reputation. This was first-rate playing, with drive, expertise, and commitment. But the wait had been long. W Zwilich has made two versions of her clarinet concerto, one for chamber ensemble and one for orchestra. Not long after this Chamber Society concert, David Shifrin premiered the latter version with the Buffalo Philharmonic.

Extractions: Best SellingClassical CDs Simply put, 1999 was a great year for classical music. And the year's Grammy Awards in classical categories gave ample proof of an abundance of musical riches. Pierre Boulez and Michael Tilson Thomas were classical music's Santanastwo conductors with multiple nominations. But they also reveal how cutting-edge classical Grammy picks are when compared to Grammy's pop fare. Here are some of the top classical winners, along with our thoughts (and, in some cases, our own choices). Classical Album The success of this record (it actually won Grammys for Best Classical Engineered Album and Best Orchestral Performance, as well) is a testament to Michael Tilson Thomas's creative programming. He wisely chose to include "Persephone," Stravinsky's seldom-heard retelling of the Greek myth, over more ballet music, making this disc a gem for Stravinsky lovers. A winner of Grammys back in 1975 and 1996, the conductor has star appeal and a love for modern works. For the millennial Grammy Awards, you couldn't ask for a more appropriate winner. Our Pick:

Mutter-Previn-Harrell Trio one of the finest soloists on the stage today and a devoted chamber musician, especiallyin violin sonata literature with her longtime pianist lambert orkis. http://www.suntimes.com/output/delacoma/cst-ftr-trio30.html
Extractions: Chicago audiences have not lacked for chamber music from high-profile players in recent years. Daniel Barenboim, Chicago Symphony Orchestra music director and a stellar pianist, loves to play chamber music with his friends, and he has brought such top soloists as Pinchas Zukerman, Yo-Yo Ma and Itzhak Perlman to Symphony Center to collaborate with him on memorable performances over the past decade. Often organized and rehearsed on the fly, those concerts by congenial colleagues enjoying one another's company can be exhilarating. But they are an entirely different kind of musicmaking from the copiously rehearsed, endlessly polished performances by ensembles like the Emerson or Juilliard quartets, whose members have been playing together for years. The Mutter-Previn-Harrell Trio, formed last year and making its Chicago debut Wednesday night in Symphony Center, falls somewhere in between. German violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter is one of the finest soloists on the stage today and a devoted chamber musician, especially in violin sonata literature with her longtime pianist Lambert Orkis.

Extractions: They may not be, strictly speaking, a modern incarnation of the so-called Million Dollar Trio, that fabled ensemble of violinist Jascha Heifetz, pianist Artur Rubinstein and cellist Gregor Piatigorsky, superstar soloists of an earlier era who relished playing chamber music together in the 1950s and '60s. But violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter, pianist-composer-conductor Andre Previn and cellist Lynn Harrell certainly are at the top of their respective classes when it comes to fame and musical achievement. Billed as the Mutter-Previn-Harrell Trio, the three are touring the United States this spring and will perform trios by Beethoven, Brahms and Mendelssohn at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Symphony Center. The German-born Mutter, 40, has it all in terms of technical virtuosity, innate artistry and killer, blond-maned good looks. Also a German native and Mutter's husband since August 2002, Previn, 75, came to the United States as a child and launched his career as a composer, arranger and conductor in Hollywood. He made classical music his primary focus in the 1950s and at various points served as music director of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, the New York Philharmonic and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. A prolific composer, he wrote a violin concerto for Mutter that she premiered shortly before their wedding; in 1998, the San Francisco Opera presented his first opera, "A Streetcar Named Desire," based on Tennessee Williams' play.

Extractions: TPT 1:16:13 I found my review copy of this CD in my letter box when I returned home late at night after a long and tiring day. I thought I'd listen to it for a few minutes before turning in. Suffice it to say that it was around 3 am before I called it a night after listening to this enchanting recording three times in succession. This is one of the finest CDs I've listened to this year, playing by three musicians who seem to draw from a shared reservoir of inspiration. I cannot readily recall more satisfying playing from Anne Sophie Mutter (violin) and Andre Previn (piano). In the latter's Tango Song and Dance, they scale Olympus with a nonchalance of mastery that is breathtaking. Sensuous of mood and sumptuous of tone, there's a 'come hither' quality about both score and interpretation that's as irresistible as a siren's call. Song, in particular, makes for wonderfully satisfying listening, ardent music, ardent playing that insinuate themselves in the deepest recesses of the consciousness. There's wizardry in the meticulous skill with which Mutter addresses fluttering arabesques here. And, in Dance, there's bracing assertiveness and astonishingly nimble treatment of the violin line, with note streams informed by a most pleasingly grainy tone quality. Previn does wonders, too, at the keyboard, the playing informed by a whispered, phantom boogie-woogie quality. Throughout, the unanimity of attack they bring to even the most subtle of nuances is extraordinary. If Previn's Tango Song and Dance does not find a place in the standard repertoire, I would very much like to know why.

In the United States, his works have been performed in Carnegie Hall in New York, Symphony Hall in Boston, Kennedy Center in Washington and Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco. His work Aftersong was written for the world-renowned violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter who, with pianist Lambert Orkis, premiered the work at the Schleswig-Holstein Festival, performed it at the Salzburg Festival, and then throughout the rest of Europe and the United States. Ms. Mutter and Mr. Orkis also performed another work of his, Clockwork, in major cities in Europe and Asia. He has received a Rome Prize, a Guggenheim Fellowship, several awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, a Friedheim Award, a Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts, a Tanglewood Fellowship, and as held residencies at the MacDowell and Yaddo Colonies. Commissions include Fromm Foundation, Koussevitzky Foundation, Barlow Endowment, Mary Flagler Cary Charitable Trust and the American Composers Orchestra. A CD of his works performed by the ensemble Mosaic was recently released on New World Records. It includes Vocalissimus, which features soprano Susan Narucki in a work that sets the same short poem of Wallace Stevens eighteen different ways - each from a different point of view. We hear a formalist, a Mystic, a recluse, a satirist, an Introvert, and many others offer their unique interpretation of the poem. Next is Theo's Sketchbook, a work for piano, performed by Emma Tahmizian. This work is an anthology of the life's work of an imaginary composer - Theo - from his juvenilia to his last piece, a lullaby for his granddaughter. The CD concludes with a work commissioned by Mosaic specifically for the recording for the core members Zizi Mueller, Emma Tahmizian, Fred Sherry, and Daniel Druckman, Whispers.

Extractions: Anne-Sophie Mutter 's survey of 20 th Century music in her repertoire is being promoted in a series of recitals and orchestral concerts, in association with the release of a 4-CD Deutsche Grammophon compilation of recordings from 1988-1997. She commands a wide following and was able to fill the Barbican for music by Bartok, Webern, Crumb, Penderecki and others who may be less off-putting to a general audience, but with nothing really to pull them in apart from her own reputation. It was an inspired choice to begin with Webern's Four Pieces Op 7 (1910), tiny elusive miniatures which established immediately that the audience had to actively listen. The third 'hovers on the edge of inaudibility' and coughs which broke the spell sounded like gunfire! Respighi's sonata did not demonstrate that its neglect is undeserved. George Crumb's characteristic Four Nocturnes (1964) required a separate prepared piano for its kaleidoscopic colouristic effects
