at Carnegie Hall

First visit to Carnegie Hall in this season for the first concert in a series of international orchestras. The program notes summarize the evening as being focused on pianists: 2 russian pianists/composers Prokofiew and Rachmaninoff flanking a piano concerto by Robert Schumann, written for his new bride, Clara Schumann. The Schumann piano concerto in A minor also leaves the strongest impression of the evening - pianist Helene Grimaud and the orchestra show how subtle and delicate orchestral music can be. Prokofiev's early 20th century spin on classical music with his "Mozart spoof" funny in its own ways.
