Gorgeous, expressive playing

Have just heard the Bach and Beethoven, and was knocked out by the beautiful tone, great passagework, and commitment of this young violinist. She may be planning to study with this teacher or that but already plays with more security and emotional content than many I've heard on the professional circuit whose playing is not as interesting. And, yet, I read she is insecure about her technique, which means she apparently aims for the superhuman :-) Well, she's on her way. Just a little work on the handling of long notes and some lighter shades in the Sibelius adagio movment. The sound on the Bach is excellent and though the Beethoven is mic'd a bit close so that it can be edgy, it's very clear (and never dull). Even on double-stopping, her control over pitch is mostly superb. Not easy on a violin.
