Editor’s note – Michael Parloff, longtime principal flute at the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, is presenting the Grammy award winning pianist Richard Goode at his Parlance Chamber Concert this Sunday afternoon, Jan. 27, at 4 p.m. at West Side Presbyterian Church in Ridgewood for the second All-Beethoven Concert.
Ridgewood News: Can you tell our readers more about Richard Goode and the concert.
Michael Parloff: It is an honor and a thrill to welcome Richard Goode, who is widely acknowledged to be one of the most remarkable pianists of our time and a consummate interpreter of the music of Beethoven. Of his recordings of the complete 32-sonata cycle, the New York Times wrote:
“It is hard to think of any other artist on record who has been all at once technically, temperamentally and intellectually as suited to the challenges of these sonatas as Mr. Goode is. These beautifully engineered recordings may well become a landmark.”
