I think we just have to wait for her CD to come out.  Then we can make a fairer judgement.  She will either be a great success or a total failure when she hits the market place.

We'll try to keep up with that. I'll be anxious to see what happens. I still appreciate that she is different.

2 CD set already on order.  I think distributor is in Long Island so should be quick if that's right.

Bit pricey for 2 CD bundle ..... $34.99 to my doorstep.

I expect to hear the violinist "of the century" so the money isn't even important.  Besides, I may be the first customer.  I've been buggin Karkowska.org and Abbey Roads to get off their _______ and do something.  And I got a special e-mail when shipping had begun.

I played some of her mp3 clips on big audio and it was short, but magnificent.

In a way it is impressive but in another way tiresome. I can see why you like her though. She plays as fast as lighting anyway.Surprised

I have her 2 CD set and there are places where she backs off and serenades the listener a little bit.  Her music is not for casual listening however and I only listen when the mood hits me and I'm not doing anything else.

What I do notice … big time …. is how the "museum music" according to Bach and company now sounds anemic.  Very uninteresting.  How will I ever go back ?  Do I want to ?

Her technique is laser-class and I keep hearing that too.

Not music for one and all however Smile

@ Oliver - What is museum music?  I haven't heard the term. Frown

"Museum Music" is a term being used to sometimes make fun of the classics.  And indeed, if age is a factor, some of the music of the classical era certainly qualifies for a museum.

The term really caught on with me because one day I went to the New York City library and they had a display in the lobby of an original Bach manuscript ..... a very museum worthy exhibit.

The more I listen to Anna K. the more I am unsatisfied with the classics.

Yes, indeed.  But I hope she has the sense not to "Karkowskatize" everything she plays to the extent of overwhelming the composers' intentions.

LOL Oliver, "Karkowskatize"

I love it. The newest music terminology term.
