He announced the theme of the music would be about a 130-year-old violin named Daphne and proceeded to give an amazing, full-range orchestral concert with just one violin - reminded me of the famous H.P. Lovecraft story, “The Music of Eric Zann.” This was a real eye (and ear) opener: how a four-string violin with a bow can summon up a sky full of thunderous war currents and swooping sounds, dying down to melancholy faraway strains and the rising and falling wail of an ambulance siren. Hypnotic, athletic, EPIC, really - and all done by one soloist with a violin."- V. Vale, RE/search Publications Type of Label: None |
