Exceptional Violinist Offers Concert Enjoyment in Hoya
Kreizeitung, by Horst Friedrichs
‚ „Allegro con fuoco“ – lively, with fire – is the composer’s „stage direction“ for the performers of his monumental work: violinist Ksenia Dubrovskaya probably even surpassed the ideals that Peter Tchaikovsky had in mind when he wrote his now famous Violin Concerto in D major, op. 35, with pen and ink on sheet music.‘
Breathtaking Precision, Impressive Lightness
Kreizeitung
‚Dubrovskaya and Barseghyan performed confidently and powerfully – the dynamic range of both instruments and the good acoustics of the Erbhof Hall were exploited without being intrusive. Both sonatas were presented with great virtuosity and a dreamlike interplay, which left listeners speechless and amazed.‘
Classic Open Air Well Received
Kreizeitung, by Berthold Kollschen
‚Her dedication, her technical ability and her sensitivity made the melancholic passages a great experience. „I even had tears in my eyes,‘ said Hildegard Holtorf from Bassum when asked what she liked best.‘
