Arabella Steinbacher


Arabella Steinbacher came to running the Auditorium concert of Tchaikovsky, which, for better or for worse, it certainly is one of two or three concerts of reference for violin century. Steinbacher I had already heard three or four years ago in the Mendelssohn Concerto with the Orchestra of Strasbourg and then I had already made a great impression, later confirmed by listening to his recordings of the two Shostakovich concertos for violin. Also in the Tchaikovsky Steinbacher, a German father and Japanese mother, one who began studying three years and is sponsored by Mutter, violinist, has proved of great skill and precision of sound, enough to tear a round of applause absolutely convinced not only by the public but also by the whole orchestra. The performance was all the more convincing because Zhang has proved once again a great interpreter of Tchaikovsky, as it did on other occasions.
Before the concert we had the English Capriccio of Rimsky-Korsakov, page kitsch vaguely English with this a bit 'to Russia so much that at times seems to be listening to the Borodin Polovtsian Dances. Finally the Zarathustra by Richard Strauss in a beautiful performance very intense, even if it is for me a bit 'difficult to talk about intensity with an author such as Strauss who almost always gives me the impression that mostly just to show off the orchestral virtuosity, the opposite of Mahler, in this sense, where the orchestral virtuosity is performed only when needed for meaningful and is therefore always very expressive.
Great performance with the only flaw of the orchestra's first trumpet in his first two rings of the Strauss waltz. I do not know how many you have noticed but our first trumpet is left totally dejected and almost at the end did not want to get up and take the applause and stood with his head down. Actually, even the first violin was not completely flawless in a couple of sorties nel Capriccio spagnolo e nello Zarathustra. Può succedere e credo che questa sera, tutto esaurito, tutto andrà per il meglio.
