found some old stuff lying in some corner of my computer about a concert last year:

Nov. 11, 2003 Krannert

Vladimir Fedoseyev, conductor
Nikolaj Znaider, violin

violin concerto in D Major, Op.61 Beethoven
Symphony No.3 in E-flat Major, Op.55, "Eroica"

----------------------------------------------------------------
Znaider is a really stunning genius,"blessed with an overwhelming command of the instrument and the courage to offer unconventional interpretations reminiscent of the grand old days of violin playing" (by Strad Magzine), handle techniques fluidly with great poetic lyricism, and also communicate with the orchestra quite well. The most enjoyable thing is that he really has a mastero stand on the stage, which is all about the music, and his grand yet hudmble personalities. Nearly at the same day, Langlang had his Carnegie Hall Recital @New York, while the New York Times critisized him as a "show man" and lack the basic respect and artistic treatment of classical music works. At the end of the article they said " If I am his manager, I will cancel his contract and send him to music camp in Vermont to play with fin Chamber musicians young and old". Technique is nothing if you lost the heart of the music, lack of the ability talking to the composer, to the audience, to other minds.

Eroica is just so so, though their first oboe is really good, and the horn satisfying.

The encore is , which I feel so bad about their choice, this really become a popular show. Well, this is true, we had a sold-out.

Some other things, I signed up as a supervisor, but due to some miscommunication, there are 5 supervisors in total. But finally I got a seat. Julie&Shawshank were there too.
