Nordlys reviews Tromsø concert

Submitted by webadmin on Mon, 06/14/2010 - 8:58am

"In Mendelssohn's only violin concerto, written just three years before he died at 38 years old in 1847, I think the orchestra was too powerful in the beginning. They completely choked the soloist’s introduction to her phenomenal performance on the violin. But it settled quickly, and the interaction between soloist and orchestra was fantastic and it was a great musical experience.
