This concert was all about Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg doing the Shostakovitch violin concerto. She did not disappoint, bringing forth an instant collective standing ovation from the audience. Nadja is one of a kind. The Bruckner symphony number 9, so-called "Unfinished," is a monstrous hyperbole of a symphony that could make only Bruckner devotees happy. Bruckner is an orchestral windbag who should have stuck to liturgical music at which he excelled. Conductor Eschenbach apparently is a Bruckner devotee, scheduling the sixth and ninth symphonies in the same season, both of which he amazingly conducted without benefit of scores. I would say that he gave a brilliant reading of the ninth of Bruckner, but it was too much Bruckner. On the other hand, the raison d'etre of this concert was Nadja and the Shostakovitch, so anything that followed didn't matter.Written on Feb 14 2012

I loved the soloist but I didn't like the piece they did. The second piece done by the National Symphony was better than the first, although it didn't have the soloist. She is exciting and a beautiful player - her playing sounds like warm honey. That's all I can compare it too - I just wish the piece was better.Written on Feb 13 2012
