David Finckel and Wu Han
Beckman Auditorium
- Public Event
"It would be hard to think of a cello and piano duo that plays with greater precision, nuance and fire." – The New York Times
David Finckel, cellist with the Emerson String Quartet, and pianist Wu Han became immediate Coleman favorites with their first appearance on the series in 2006. With their electrifying performances, they have already joined the coterie of legendary duos: "They enthralled the audience with performances whose idiomatic command, technical mastery and integrity of vision... made me think back to the days of Schnabel and Fournier, Solomon and Piatigorsky." (London s Musical Opinion) Artistic directors of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, the husband-wife team also founded and direct Music@Menlo, a summer chamber music festival in California's Silicon Valley.
