Prokofiev, Violin Concerto No. 2
February 17, 2012, 8 p.m. CST (9 p.m. EST)
To listen to the live stream of the concert,
go to
"...an exceptional performance of Sergei Prokofiev's
Second Violin Concerto. Soloist Vadim Gluzman
struck an ideal balance between the composer's
devotion to the kind of sweeping
Russian-flavored melodies he imagined might
mollify Soviet authorities in 1935 and the
elements of internal conflict he allowed to bubble
to the surface. Gluzman filled his interpretation
with the sound of hand-wringing tension and
a passionate quest for transcendence..."

"Just before intermission came the ISO's
first performance of Shostakovich's
Violin Concerto No. 2 in C-sharp minor.
Unconventional in key as well as in
its dark orchestral palette, the work
was carried into the hearts of the audience
by Vadim Gluzman's splendid, deep-toned
command of its technical and interpretive
challenges. In the long lines of the
introduction and the Adagio, the tensile
strength of his phrasing was remarkable."

"Gluzman was in complete command
of his instrument, coaxing the full range
of expression and emotion while also
maintaining an unwavering peak of virtuosic display."

Vadim Gluzman, violinist
"Gluzman's playing can only be described as stunning.
He's a player of the old school, with a rich and
robust tone and flawless technique. This performance
only confirmed what was already clear at his
Bethlehem appearances:
Gluzman is one of the world's top violinists."

"As a soloist, Salerno-Sonnenberg is a force to be reckoned with: Intense, passionate, and focused, she has amatchless technique of such clarity that every note seems to have a life of its own. As a concertmeistress, she invigorated her players for always more, and they responded."

violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg's
interview on violinist.com:
http://www.violinist.com/blog/laurie/20114/12266/
"The excitedly awaited soloist for the evening
was the exuberant violinist Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg,
no stranger to the Festival. An original and eclectic musician,
Ms. Salerno-Sonnenberg is often a visceral and physical player....
...there was originality and daring in her approach –
and she clearly enjoyed herself, much to the delight of the audience!
The work starts with a drum roll and a short phrase by
the strings and then..., an open “G” with
a fermata (hold) for the soloist. I have never heard this opening “G”
played so long – so long that it became a musical entity
, in and of itself, not just the usual beginning
of something else. This was only the first
of several iconoclastic musical moments. ….
… Ms. Salerno-Sonnenberg is a sensational violinist –
gorgeous tone and vibrato, a great sense
f rhythm and drama and originality."
