Wikipedia article about the program
The final show in SFPerformance's Violin Virtuosi series for this year, I attended with mom, sitting in the same great seats in the center as last night. Between the slight change in the weather (a bit cooler today than yesterday) and a change of clothes (I opted for much lighter weight clothing tonight) there was no chance of drifting off to sleep mid concert tonight despite attending on a belly full of roast beef and a stiff pint of Speakeasy's Big Daddy IPA courtesy of Tommy's Joynt.
I thought that the most striking contrast in tonight's presentation compared with the previous show was the starkly slower pacing of the Sonata and Partita No. 1. Not that the double sections of the latter work were too slow, but that last night's entire show seemed to come off at an unrelentingly blistering pace.
Stephen Smoliar offered up another grumpy review for the Examiner. Noticing him dash out before Midori took her final bows both nights leads me to think he should hardly be one to criticize her for issues of pacing!
