Arts October 28, 1999 Midori and McDonald at Peabody BY J DICKENSON Peabody Notes The Johns Hopkins News-Letter The blistering final movement of John Corigliano's Sonata for Violin and Piano ended with concentrated intensity and the audience, who had been patient and calm only moments before as they witnessed the virtuoso performance, exploded into a clapping frenzy. Violinist Midori and pianist Robert McDonald acknowledged the crowd with modest bows, then proceeded to receive a standing ovation and three curtain calls — and this was merely the end of the first half. The audience members in Miriam A. Friedberg Hall knew they were listening to something special. Midori, whose debut at age 11 with the New York Philharmonic launched her international career, is known for her impeccable technique and fiery performances. Tonight's concert, however, displayed a mature side of her playing as she collaborated with Peabody faculty member Robert McDonald. The concert began with Mozart's Sonata in A Major, K. 526 , an elegant display on the part of the performers, as the duo played the 18th century work with a refinement that refused to inhibit the beautiful, singing quality of the music.

SUBSCRIBE Newspaper Delivery Click Here SIGN UP Email Newsletter Click Here ARCHIVES 1985 to Present Click Here Celebrating 20 years in musical spotlight BY CLARKE BUSTARD TIMES-DISPATCH STAFF WRITER Jan 19, 2003 Twenty years ago, Midori Goto, an 11-year-old violinist from Osaka, Japan, was one of the most promising musical prodigies of Asian descent. Recently enrolled in an American conservatory - in her case, in the studio of Dorothy Delay at the Juilliard School - she hoped to follow elders such as conductor Seiji Ozawa, cellist Yo-Yo Ma and violinist Cho-Liang Lin into classical music's first string. Conductor Zubin Mehta tapped the young violinist as a surprise guest soloist in a New Year's Eve concert by the New York Philharmonic. Billed simply as Midori - the name she has stuck with professionally - she created a sensation by playing not just virtuosically but with a maturity far beyond her years. She sounded so "adult" as a preteen, in fact, that all the usual calculations of what age a performer should be to tackle which pieces never really applied to Midori. Nor have many of the cliches associated with prodigies.

Midori, 25, was a child prodigy who played with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra at age 11. By AMANDA M. SAENZ Her performances with many distinguished symphonic ensembles have captured the spirit and vigor of music in many different modes. Her performance Sunday evening at the Wharton Center only proved that Midori indeed lives up to all her expectations and achievements. Wearing an emerald green, rhinestone-accented dress, the small-statured violinist took the stage and immediately captured the attention and respect of the nearly sold-out crowd. Sharing the billing with pianist Robert McDonald, her longtime recital partner, Midori played four selections that were both enlightening and inviting. From the very first note, she appeared mesmerized by her tune. After the intermission, the show continued with the same vibe and spirit as the first half. However, the second half seemed to to have a little more funk and energy than the first. The first movement features a pedal tone on the fifth degree of the scale and lasts more than 40 measures. The effect of this unusual style is to place the violin and upper piano voices in a constant battle.

CARITEN HEALTHCARE PRESENTS THE KNOXVILLE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA'S SEASON-OPENING MIDORI GALA AT THE CIVIC AUDITORIUM SEPT. 13 KNOXVILLE- The Knoxville Symphony Orchestra's 2002-2003 Masterworks season opens on September 13 at the Civic Auditorium at 8:30 p.m., as superstar violinist Midori returns to the KSO stage 15 years after she captivated sold-out audiences at her 1987 Knoxville debut, this time as the star of the season-opening gala. The program includes "Variations on America" by Ives/Schuman, the Sibelius Violin Concerto, and "Pictures at an Exhibition" by Mussorgsky/Ravel. "The biggest impression we ever had with a guest artist in this community was when Midori first played here," said Maestro Kirk Trevor. "Ever since, we've been trying to get her back. She is one of the most sought-after artists of our time, and we are thrilled to have her return to Knoxville during my last season." Trevor continued, "I first met Midori in the summer of my very first season with the KSO while in Dallas. Back then, Midori was already a veteran star of thirteen, so I was extremely nervous. What I remembered most about that day was standing backstage with a young thirteen-year-old, then a few moments later, standing on the podium with someone that seemed to have matured twenty years or more in the few seconds it took to put the violin under her chin."

Concert Review by Classical Voice Violinist Gives an Intimate and Immaculate Reading of Sibelius By Truman C. Wang Saturday, November 16, 2002 L OS ANGELES , CALIF – The Nov. 16 concert by the Los Angeles Philharmonic was memorable for the superb orchestral playing as well as for the presence of a great violinist. The three Nordic pieces on the program found their ideal interpreter in the L.A. Phil’s Finnish-born conductor/artistic director Esa-Pekka Salonen. Edvard Grieg’s Peer Gynt Suite had all the requisite pastoral charm and vivacity that the score demands and more. Aase’s Death, marked ‘andante doloroso’, was unforgettable for its quietly shimmering sonorities, like a translucent dark veil on a bereaved lover. The dark force again re-asserted itself in the Sibelius Violin Concerto , here given a rapturously serene and intimate account by Midori and the Philharmonic musicians, who at times played like chamber musicians. It is a tribute to Midori’s mastery that in concert her playing has all the precision one would expect in the studio – exceptionally clean and precise, not least above the stave. The main lyrical themes of the first two movements were taken at leisurely tempos and built up gradually to rapt intensity, and the coda of the first movement was among the most thrilling I have ever heard. The finale, adhering to Sibelius’ exact marking “allegro ma non tanto”, was again remarkable for the clean precision of her playing, with detail sharply drawn even in the most thorny bravura passages.

On-line yellow pages Concert series starts Saturday with Midori and McDonald By Joanna McQuillan Weeks, Assistant features editor The 70th season of the Greater New Bedford Concert Series gets under way Saturday with a program featuring two of classical music's best: violinist Midori and pianist Robert McDonald. They will perform at 8 p.m. at the Zeiterion Theatre in New Bedford. Concert Series President Claire Bessette of Mattapoisett is very gratified with the response thus far. "We have over 770 tickets sold" for Saturday's program, and have doubled subscribership, she said. The officers and board members have worked hard to build community support for the series, she added. Music lovers still have time to subscribe to the 70th season, which also features the Boston Classical Orchestra on April 21 and Verdi's "Rigoletto," to be staged May 12 by the National Lyric Opera of New York. The series is sponsored by Baker Books. Midori and Mr. McDonald are performing J.S. Bach's Sonata No. 3 in E Major, BWV 1016; Poulenc's Sonata (1942); Webern's Four Pieces, Opus 7 (1910); and Beethoven's Sonata No. 9 in A Major, Opus 47 ("Kreutzer.") Calling it a varied program, Mrs. Bessette noted, "The Bach and Beethoven are very well known." Less familiar is the work of Austrian composer Anton von Webern. "That's a more modern piece; it's 20th century," Mrs. Bessette said.
