Casals Hall
Tokyo, Japan
December 2, 1996
One of the things the Vermeer players loved about performing in Japan was their very special audiences. They listened not only respectfully, but with a quiet intensity that the players could feel.
Joining them for this concert in Casals Hall were Nobuko Imai, who had previously been the violist of the Vermeer, and Antonio Meneses, who later became the cellist of the Beaux Arts Trio.
