Music at the Clark

[image error]

The other day I saw the glorious Takács Quartet play three Bartók quartets at the William Andrews Clark Memorial Library in Los Angeles. The Clark has an excellent music series and an excellent, if slightly distracting, music room in which to listen. More about Clark and his curious circle can be found in Liz Brown's riveting, disconcerting book Twilight Man. The library houses one of the world's leading collections of Oscar Wilde materials — hence the Oscar portrait hanging in the mansion. More on Bartók at a later date.
