Mesechinka oct 27 de X. Leiden


This is
not JUST a cool looking fiddle, or is it a viola like the other not so ordinary one? Brilliant game with the 8shape curved figure and ancient and modern symbolism. I wonder about the effect of looking at it from the players perspective.
This lady's touch and tone on both instruments here made me sit up straight right away. You don't have to be educated in music to recognize what they call ' mastership ' . Your whole being is telling you there's something else resonating in the room.Something beyond skill.

And what a band, what an intricate interaction, 7 people sounding as if speaking with one voice. I'm moonstruck.
