Concert Reviews

... The duo :nota bene: played choice works by Stravinsky, Martinu, Bresgen, Webern, Hauer, Kurtág, Lutoslawski, Vereno, Schnittke und Penderecki.
This was truly touchingly beautiful music. A special compliment: Eva Steinschaden's violin-playing was spectacular. When she turned to play into the open piano and made it resonate, it was as though one were listening down a deep well. And did it not sometimes seem as if Pan were playing his pipes on her instrument?
The long-familiar techniques of contemporary music took on new, evocative colours. The pianist Alexander Vavtar was an ideally-matched partner for her, and he gave a masterly rendering of some extremely demanding works.
