<<< << -- 4 -- Howard Smith MOZART AND SMETANA
All in all the DVD content is moderately diverting and musically pleasurable
[watch and listen -- chapter 8, 52:08-53:32].
However it fails to stand out visually or attract one for repeated viewings.

The fact is I can periodically drive fifteen kilometers and attend inexpensive chamber concerts featuring similarly gifted instrumentalists performing in an uncluttered purpose-built home amidst rural surroundings.
With that in mind, for the forseeable future the Steinway Hall 'classical hour' seems likely to sit on my shelves gathering dust.
