What's better than the music of one great artist? A double helping of the music of one or the music of two great artists. In this past month's reviews, we found a pairing of Schumann's Symphonies Nos. 2 and 4 in a pleasing performance lead by John Eliot Gardiner. Also, the Boston Early Music Festival gave us two of Charpentier's stage spectacles created for Louis XIV. Daniel Barenboim was joined by his son Michael, along with Kian Soltani, for piano trios by Mozart. Lara Downes combined the music of both Robert and Clara Schumann, while Johannes Moser played that of both Felix Mendelssohn and his sister Fanny.
