MIDORI, violinist

A REVIEW By JAMES BASH
Oregon Music News, April 26, 2010
Midori...gave an intimate and introspective performance
of Sibelius' Violin Concerto with the Oregon Symphony
under the direction of Carlos Kalmar...With immaculate
phrasing, Midori seemed to feel her way into this moody
piece, exploring its dark corners and the bright-hued
expanses with intensity. The second movement, in
particular, with its prayerful stance, emerging from the
gloomy depths and ascending to a lighter and brighter
space, was sublime. Because Midori kept the volume
down, even n the most effusive passages, the orchestra
listened and responded masterfully. There were a number
of sections in which the orchestra had to quickly swell to
a double forte and scamper back to pianissimo, so that
Midori could take tenderness to a new level.
