..the most engrossing and moving aspect of In the Arms of the Beloved was the back-and-forth between Meyers’s solo violin and @billychildspiano piano, as if they were taking part in an imaginary conversation between mother and son. Their musical exchanges, like wisps of memory, were a heartfelt dialogue and climaxed in a pair of extended cadenzas.
@the_gershmeister Gershon, who has overseen and nurtured the piece from its inception, conducted with a combination of grace and vigor that allowed all of Childs’s disparate elements to come together and shine.
