Mendelssohn Italian Symphony: 4th Movement (excerpt)
It takes such control to play the 4th Symphony, and the 4th Movement. A work that requires opposites - elegance and power, control and spontaneity - the intimacy of solo and chamber music within the camaraderie and strength of numbers of a full orchestra. Finding nuance within hundreds of notes!! It was so hot in the hall, the orchestra was permitted to play without jackets. How they kept their bows in hand was beyond a miracle! A 3-minute excerpt of our wonderful collaboration!

Karin Hendrickson writes for the Royal Northern Sinfonia Blog on Beethoven during this anniversary year of his birth. “I often find that concert hall audiences don’t give themselves enough credit – they will say, “I don’t know why… I just like it.” I am confident that there is an underlying sensitivity in everyone – for the ear and mind to find balance, and to experience measures of variety, surprise, drama, and beauty . . . And just like a composer, it is completely unique to you. Beethoven’s uniqueness as a composer is that he didn’t let his technical work get in the way of his artistic voice. He was an excellent technical composer . . . but during his own lifetime, Beethoven’s bravery in his own compositional voice, and how he worked to create elements of drama and surprise, is what made this composer so revolutionary.
