Excellent review of the interpretation of Variations on a rococo op theme. 33 of Tchaikovsky by cellist Nina Kotova at the inaugural concert of the new season of the Orchestra national du Capitole de Toulouse, under the direction of maestro Lio Kuokman temporada.
“Russian-American cellist Nina Kotova shines in Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s Rococo Variations. His reading of exacerbated romanticism, far from all patheticalism, evokes a wild ride barely curbed by Lio Kuokman’s firm and determined accompaniment. With a rare eloquence and above all a gentle sensitivity, this interpreter trained in the prestigious Moscow Conservatory uses the most subtle processes to present us a version as sumptuous as colorful of this intoxicating experience" . Jean-Félix Marquette (3/10722)
