No better way of putting it


It is from performances like this that one realizes that the music of Elliott Carter offers pleasures and delights that no other composer can offer.
CHARLES ROSEN

Charles Rosen's observation was made about a commercial recording of Carter's Cello Concerto, but is also a perfect description of this 2009 live broadcast from Berlin's Philharmonie of Carter's Interventions for piano and orchestra with Daniel Barenboim as soloist and Pierre Boulez conducting the Staatskapelle Berlin.
