The St. Lawrence String Quartet is on a mission to promote the composer who made the string quartet the cornerstone of chamber music.

Is there a violinist today who is more a musician of our times that Joshua Bell? I heard him in the Toronto Symphony Orchestra’s season-opening concert on Thursday evening, at Roy Thomson Hall, and came away convinced that he’s the right man in the right place at the right time. And good for him! The vehicle for this revelation was Lalo’s Symphonie espagnole. It’s not my favourite fiddle-and-band piece, I must admit. (Doesn’t it have one too many movements?) But it demands much from a soloist – and this soloist nailed it at every turn. |
