Fine post-shopping chamber music from Vancouver festival

Toronto Symphony orchestra concertmaster Jonathan Crow

The Toronto Symphony Orchestra’s new concetmaster, Jonathan Crow, continues to be an active chamber musician, including taking part in the three-day Vancouver Winter Chamber Music Festival in November.

CBC Radio 2’s extensive list of concerts on demand includes a very slightly ragged, but still magnetically compelling performance of Franz Schubert’s C Major Quintet, featuring Crow with Curtis Institute violin student Timothy Chooi alongside great chamber veterans: viola player David Harding and cellists Peter Wiley and Nicholas Canellakis.

It’s seems like a fine way to recover from Boxing Day madness.
