Echoes of Europe Chamber Music Recital Series 2023: A review
National Concert Hall: Thursday 7 September 2023
I had the pleasure of attending the inaugural performance of the Echoes of Europe chamber music recital series at the National Concert Hall in Dublin, curated by the talented David Tobin. David's mission was to bring together the finest musicians from across Europe and collaborate on a selection of exceptional works.
At the heart of last night's recital were cellist Anouchka Hack (Germany) and pianist Susana Gómez Vázquez (Spain), both joining violinist David Tobin (Ireland) on stage. Their performance was not only technically impeccable but also radiated a genuine passion for the music. It was evident that they thoroughly enjoyed every moment on stage, and their seamless collaboration left a lasting impression on the captivated audience. Despite their relatively short time together, their musical synergy made it seem as though they had been playing together for years. I am already looking forward to the opportunity to hear them perform again.
The National Concert Hall may very well be on the cusp of establishing an annual chamber music festival featuring young, highly trained, and exceptionally talented musicians.
My heartfelt congratulations go out to David Tobin for his exceptional programming, and I am confident that this series will continue to showcase a wealth of brilliant artists in the future.
Bravo!
