    People Are Talking: UMS presents The Hagen Quartet at Rackham Auditorium:

  • I agree wholeheartedly, Judith. My husband and I were mulling over this very point as we left the show last night. My reservations about the program prompted me to seek out this discussion board.

    In response to:
    "

    As this very enjoyable concert was included in the “Maverick” series, I’d like to have heard Beethoven quartets that filled the bill better. The F Major one was extremely familiar, played often on the radio, beautiful but not in the “maverick” category. The E-flat Major one was, to me, one of his less interesting ones. The F-Minor one, “Serioso,” did fit fine: fascinating, gnarly, risk-taking, a real pleasure musically speaking. This one was heading toward the great late quartets. Why not have included one of those, a true “maverick”?

  • People Are Talking: Laurie Anderson’s Delusion:

  • It was great. I hadn't seen her for about 20 years. Her relevance has in no way diminished in those two decades. There are a lot of… expressions, practices… that pass under the term "art" these days. Laurie Anderson is the real thing. Two nights… thank you! I'm so glad that so many people came out to see her.
