From Perotin to Prokofiev (and beyond), performed by Caruso to Khatia, it's all here.

OK, to clarify....

She's a very good violinist but...

The 'style' of play is 'dry' to the point of being painful. At the end of each sonata she can hold that last note with PERFECT intonation and WITHOUT vibrato (really hard to do) but it's PAINFUL.

"Leopold Mozart's Versuch einer gründlichen Violinschule (1756), for example, provides an indication of the state of vibrato in string playing at the end of the baroque period. In it, he concedes that "there are performers who tremble consistently on each note as if they had the permanent fever", condemning the practice, and suggesting instead that vibrato should be used only on sustained notes and at the ends of phrases when used as an ornament."

Could use a bit of 'ornamentation'. ;-)




First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
