My impression of the quartet of Perlman, Yo-Yo Ma, McGill, and Montero playing Williams was that they performed live despite the cold, but according to this New York Times article, the performance was synced. With the havoc the bitter cold can have on performers and their instruments, it is understandable, if a minor disappointment, to know that their freezing perfection was due to being prerecorded. At least, now we know they are very good actors as well as musicians.
The Times article also has a beautiful video of the performance.
Random thoughts about many interests and people, with a realization of the blessings of life. I try to follow my mother's advice, don't discuss politics or religion.
