Following the article dedicated to Patricia Kopatchinskaja in the latest issue of BBC Music Magazine, the acclaimed violinst is now featured in the Financial Times after winning the Orchestral Award at the BBC Music Magazine Awards 2010 on Tuesday 13 April. Below is an extract from Harry Eyres’s article.
In the front line of creation
“Fortunately, some musicians were able to be there in person – one not just to collect her award but to play for us. This was the young Moldovan Patricia Kopatchinskaya, whose disc of the Beethoven violin concerto was the surprise winner of the orchestral award. Genre-bending and full of gypsy devilry, Kopatchinskaya played a solo piece by George Enescu and Jorge Sanchez Chiong’s Crin, in which her voice and violin struck sparks off each other. If anyone thought classical music was stuffy or corseted, here was the riposte.”
