JOE CONWAY reviews last week’s classical concerts, with high praise for CUCO and the Endellion String Quartet.
JOE CONWAY’s latest column including interviews, what’s on next week and write ups of the week just gone.
JOE CONWAY : ‘Throughout the concerto Arisa Fujita had held the audience spell-bound, especially in the two cadenzas, when you really could have heard the proverbial pin drop.’
MADELINE DE-BERRIE and JOE CONWAY agree ‘the concentration of no player waned’ and ‘with each player individually connected with the music emotionally.’
JOE CONWAY : ‘Just looking around at the players’ evident enjoyment of these great tunes should make one reluctant to add to the snobby criticisms that have always been levelled at Tchaikovsky.’
JOE CONWAY: ‘The sonorities were rich and the energy levels high as all five players went full pelt for the final summation.’
JOE CONWAY learnt that in good classical music, ‘What you don’t do is dash through it as if you can’t wait to get it over.’
