Around NYC: Gewandhaus at Carnegie Hall

It was an enjoyable evening, not great though.

Nikolaj Znaider was the soloist on the Mendelssohn Violin Concerto and performed well on the sarabande from Bach's Partita #2 that he gave as an encore.

For my taste, the Dvorak #9 in the second half was too loud and strident.  The same approach, though, worked better for Beethoven's Lenore #3 Overture which opened the program.
