Amazing soloist; music selection not so much
by Robin on 11/17/21The Soraya (The Valley's Center for the Performing Arts) - NorthridgeThe performer, a young man violinist, was PHENOMENAL!! The music itself, however, was some of the most unpleasant and depressing music I think I've ever heard. I realize that Shostakovich was composing a good deal of his music under Stalin and other communist leaders, but I've played music by Shostakovich that is not unpleasant and depressing. I hope they can choose a different selection next time.
