October 2, 2010 The Star-Ledger; " 'Romeo and Juliet' review: Young love resonates in concert" |
| |
| |
"Chen, a fast-rising performer with big competition wins under his belt, offered a captivating account of the Mendelssohn. He handled the work’s technical demands admirably and captured not only its youthful ardor and piquant, playful side but also brought an understated, introspective yearning to the middle movement and a wide tonal range. The NJSO partnered him vividly, with pathos, bravado and pristine wind interjections that dovetailed beautifully into the violinist’s warm, lustrous sound."

MUSICIAN INSIGHT |

Christopher Stingle, trumpet |

 |
To me, it's always interesting to hear different composers' takes on a theme. This week's theme of Romeo and Juliet was such a rich story line, and the music it inspired was deep, sweeping and beautifully romantic. Overall, it was a joy to play, and I hope it was a joy to listen to. |

UPCOMING CONCERTS |
|
| |
 |
BEST OF MOZART
Oct. 14–17
Beyond the mystique of Mozart—his astonishing precocity and early demise—lies the music itself, revealed here in its kaleidoscopic moods. A heavenly serenity infuses the themes of the Clarinet Concerto and his last symphony, “Jupiter,” while his impetuous First Symphony, composed at the age of 8, bursts with youthful energy. |
 |
RUSSIAN TALES
Oct. 28–31
The ardent themes of Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2 come to life under the fingers of pianist Dudana Mazmanishvili, praised for her expressive and dynamic performances. Prokofiev’s popular Fifth Symphony pulses with energy; influential American composer Roger Sessions contributes an inventive suite. |
 |
BRAHMS PIANO CONCERTO NO. 1
Nov. 5 –7
George Gershwin was only 21 when he composed his tender lullaby, as was Kurt Weill when he wrote his bittersweet First Symphony. Both composers owed much to Brahms, and his incomparable talent. |
