The Week in Reviews, Op. 360: Chad Hoopes; Aisslinn Nosky
In an effort to promote the coverage of live violin performance, Violinist.com each week presents links to reviews of notable concerts and recitals around the world.
Violinist Chad Hoopes.
Chad Hoopes performed Vivaldi’s "The Four Seasons" with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra at the Newport Classical Music Festival.
- Boston Musical Intelligencer: "..for those who don’t mind strongly seasoned Vivaldi, Hoopes proved exciting, exhilarating, dynamic; clearly he was having a lot of fun. The orchestra responded brilliantly with exceeding virtuosity..."
Aisslinn Nosky performed Baroque works with the Handel and Haydn Society Ensemble.
- The Berkshire Edge: "Every violin student knows this relatively simple work (Vivaldi's Concerto in A minor) and it has been recorded countless times. Having surveyed many examples, including the fastest recorded version (by Fabio Biondi), I discovered that the tempo of Aisslinn Nosky’s rendition exceeded them all."

I didn’t know either of these violinists. Laurie’s review roundups take me somewhere interesting each week.
