These discs present a rich sampling of her public chamber collaborations, plus home recordings of a few solo pieces, make up this two-CD collection, all of the music recorded live, none of it previously available in any form.

While Nadia earlier taught at Queens College and later joined the faculty of The Juilliard School, her longest association was with Mannes, located then in a refurbished brownstone on East 74th Street in Manhattan. There she performed with many superb faculty colleagues, among them most of the memorable artists represented here: clarinetist David Glazer, cellist David Soyer, and the members of the Galimir String Quartet.

Interestingly, and probably not coincidentally, when I began my “Listening Room” series on WQXR in 1970, David G. was my very first in-studio guest, David S. (along with his partners in the Guarneri String Quartet) the second. - Robert Sherman
