New Jersey Symphony. Xian Zhang, conductor; Augustin Hadelich, violin. January 13, 2024.
[…] as well. He didn't disappoint. If one looks at the score, the violinist finds a lot of scales, arpeggios, and double stops in front of him, technically challenging, but certainly doable. What makes for a good performance is how these are strung together into a story. And it was beautifully done today.Hadelich plays a Guarneri violin, which worked very well in today's setting, Count Basie being a mid-sized auditorium. His playing reminds me of how Buchbinder did it with Beethoven's piano concerts (No. 5 and 4) - effortless, in great partnership with the orchestra. In this case one can add how clear the violin sounded, and how great the intonation was.

A left-brain program, as I call it. Worked for me, and - from the NY Times reviewer's headline - worked for some critics as well.Beethoven's piano concerto was the one that was of most interest. I saw the van Zweden/Buchbinder combination in Hong Kong back in September, 2023. It was Beethoven's Emperor Concerto, and I had a lot of good things to say about it. While the 4th may be less "substantial," it was still […]

Andris Nelsons and the BSO, elicited love, magic and sparkling sonorities, shaking the rafters in Thursday night’s 143rd season opener. The centerpiece—Richard Strauss’s Suite from Der Rosenkavalier, Opus 59 (1911)—elicited moments of glory from every section, and Rudolf Buchbinder sounded great in a Mozart concerto.
