Ellinor D’Melon‘s concert last week with the Orquesta de Cordóba has been reviewed in El Dia de Córdoba. This was the debut concert as the Orchestra’s Principal Guest Artist for this season.
“It was a pleasure to listen to the Jamaican soloist Ellinor D’Melon’s clean, delicate and dynamically nuanced phrasing.“
“Its lyricism…gave rise to what was, for me, the magical moment of the evening : the concert’s Adagio. Celebrated as one of the young Mozart’s most beautiful and accomplished slow movements, the delicacy of this fragment thrilled the audience, accompanied by an orchestra that acted as a gentle whisper to the violin’s song”
“After the final rondo, full of surprises and pleasant expressive complicity between the soloist and the orchestra, and after two long rounds of applause, Ellinor D’Melon gave us an off-programme fragment by Johann Sebastian Bach: the reflective Andante from Sonata No. 2 for solo violin, BWV 1003… The version offered by the soloist, in a rather lively tempo, highlighted the luminous, resurrection-like aspect of this memorable page. A delight.”
