20 April 2010 - Quintet

Nishlyn Ramanna in the Sunday Magazine dated 25th April 2010.

Nishlyn Ramanna discovers vibrancy and talent. The Friends of Music concert at the Durban Jewish Centre on Tuesday, April 20, featured Simon Milliken (double bass), Boris Kerimov (cello), Liezl-Maret Jacobs (piano), Elena Kerimova (violin) and David Snaith (viola) playing Schubert's Concertante in F Major D 487 and his Trout Quintet, as well as Hummel's little-known Piano Quintet in E flat minor, Op 87. The ensemble was beautifully balanced and finely interwoven. Crisp and deliciously articulate, Jacob's piano was like a sparkling stream against the warm string textures.

It was truly a treat listening to music we don't get to hear often enough, played with such intelligence and vitality.
