Beethoven With a Pal

Looking forward tonight to going to Lincoln Center for 3 Beethoven quartets with my friend in from California, Kerry Candaele, who I am trying to help with his upcoming film on LvB which I have hyped often, Following the Ninth. (He's finishing filming this week but go watch the trailer now.) Group tonite is the Miro Quartet, who I recently saw in great performance of the Heiliger Dankgesang with Stephen Dillane's T.S. Eliot performance. Here is great "lento assai" movement from opus 135 they will be doing tonite.  UPDATE:   Miro was absolutely tremendous and closed with "only encore possible" -- the Cavatina.
