Toronto Symphony Orchestra / Reviews

This TSO performance was at that calibre of fidelity to the composer’s vision where the instruments seem to dissolve into the music itself

In a program of strong works, it was Édouard Lalo’s “Symphonie Espagnole” that stood out. Spanish violinist María Dueñas delivered a ferocious interpretation of the showpiece, threatening to blow the roof off Carnegie Hall’s Isaac Stern Auditorium. It’s impossible to fathom that she’s just 20 years old.
