Rob Kapilow has been illuminating great works of music for Boston audiences since 1997. A master of jargon-free clarity, Kapilow has a knack for finding the musical “aha!” moments that are the difference between ordinary and extraordinary. In this installment of What Makes It Great? Rob Kapilow, the Borromeo String Quartet and pianist Lukas Vondracek take apart and reassemble Antonin Dvořák’s Piano Quintet in A Major, a masterpiece of its genre.
Program:
Dvořák
Piano Quintet in A Major "Mr. Kapilow has a remarkable gift for making academic analysis not only accessible but compelling as well. It was the kind of enlightening musical seminar in which you hang on to every word and note.”
