In 1929, Herbert Hoover was the newly-inaugurated President of the United States. Erich Maria Remarque published All Quiet on the Western Front, and Walt Disney took to animating a mouse.

Cellist Pablo Casals, and violinist Jacques Thibaud, with pianist Alfred Cortot in a new role as conductor, met to capture the Brahms Double Concerto to disc. Some 88 years later, it's still regarded as an exemplary performance, and it will be our featured work this Thursday night.
