Program:
- Ravel: Ma mere l’oye Suite
- Dvořak: Symphony No. 9 From
the New World
Stringer delivers a thriller!
“…First was the Mother Goose Suite by Ravel and …Mark
Stringer, making his British debut, demonstrated an effortless control upon
the delicacy of the scoring and in so doing managed to highlight the subtlety
and depth of the music. The feeling of nostalgia for lost childhood was hauntingly
captured in this performance.
…A casual entrance belied the tension and excitement he injected into
the first movement of Dvořak’s New World Symphony in complete contrast
to the more somber second movement with its famous cor anglais theme. The symphony
ended in thrilling form.”
