A marvellous violinist!
Beg to differ – the only time I heard her live she was just dull and characterless – in the Brahms concerto, of all pieces. Have avoided her ever since.
Incredible command of the instrument, clarity of intonation, yet utterly devoid of personality or interest. Her Beethoven concerto is a thing over wonder, pristine and shiny, yet boring as hell, and lacking a single moment of true beauty. Nice fiddle though…
Her Britten concerto and Hindemith concerto (both with Vladimir Jurowski) are treasures: breathtaking virtuosity flows seamlessly with expansive lyrical passages and fiendish passagework. Good signing for KD Schmid!
She recorded Beethoven and Berg with Andris Nelsons. Now they the same agent. Coincidence?
She is so authentic, I love that! And of course an outstanding violinist. Thanks goodness she is not a superficial show-performer! By the way, her Beethoven is one of the finest I’ve ever heard.
