Bravo! Vail July 23 Thursday Evening Chamber Concert Yang & Dover Play Dohnányi

This program is a tour de force of personal expression and awe-inspiring music. "Full of invention, fire, good taste and new effects" are words used to describe the string quartet by Haydn. The strong and elegant voice of Bacewicz, Poland's most prominent female composer, is a welcome discovery. The program ends with the passion of the gifted 18-year-old Dohnányi, whose dramatic sonorities and soaring melodies earned him the endorsement of the older master, Johannes Brahms.
