Mozart

"This program really gives the feel of what it's like to be in Robert Winter's classroom. A superb recording of Mozart's String Quartet in C Major, by the Angeles Quartet, is followed by seventy-six minutes of dialogue between Winter and the members of the quartet. Sometimes he separates out a passage, sometimes he makes the musicians play one other than the way it's written, sometimes he changes the syncopation--whatever it takes to convey the inner workings of Mozart's music and to get his point across. Detailed views of the quartet's instruments are also put to use. This vivid exhange of musical ideas, driven by Winter's energy and expertise, guarantees a complete understanding of this classic and difficult piece of chamber music." -- From Voyager
