Still, the Lindsays come off as sympathetic to Tippett regardless of the material, and the musicians--Peter Cropper and Ronald Birks (violins); Roger Bigley (viola, disc one); Robin Ireland (viola, disc two); and Bernard Gregor-Smith (cello)--give Tippett's muse a discernible pulse. Which means there should be plenty of life when the Haydn, Bartók and real Beethoven come around Thursday night.--Ted Simons

The Lindsays are scheduled to perform on Thursday, March 21, at Scottsdale Center for the Arts. Showtime is 8 p.m.
