Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Double Bass

The Knights consistently put on some of the most interesting classical concerts in New York. Friday night’s offering at the 92nd Street Y was no exception.

The Scottish Chamber Orchestra explores student works from Bernstein’s punchy Clarinet Sonata, Barber’s String Quartet, featuring his greatest hit, and Coleridge-Taylor’s sunny Nonet. 

The unfolding of the tale was beautifully unhurried, made all the more effective by not being an updating. Underscoring connections to the current day wasn’t necessary. The contemporary reverberations were apparent.
