BEETHOVEN UNLIMITED --- Egmont


Music Reviewer James McQuillen of the Oregonian says this about PCO:
" Saturday's opening performance was excellent, a fine example of the improvements the orchestra has made under director Yaacov Bergman, who has led the Portland Chamber Orchestra since 2002. Contributions from all sections were solid and assured, and intonation throughout was on the mark. Abetted by Kaul's lively acoustic, the strings sounded lush and full ... .Bergman conducted with fervor, playing the dramatic possibilities of the music to the hilt ... "Christy Anne Hamilton lent youthful conviction and an agile, focused voice to her two arias as Clara, the doomed hero's beloved."

Violin Concerto in D Major

Music Reviewer James McQuillen of the Oregonian goes on to say:
"The second piece on the program was the Beethoven Violin Concerto, with soloist Chin Kim. Kim's performance was dazzling; his cadenzas recalled Paganini in their use of the tricks of the fiddler's toolbox."
