Baltimore Sun CD Review

Written By Kayleigh Noele

"Madeline Adkins, who starts as concertmaster of the Utah Symphony this season, was long valued as Baltimore Symphony Orchestra associate concertmaster for her sure technique and vibrant personality. Those gifts abound on this Mendelssohn collection.

Partnered with equal ease and nuance by pianist Luis Magalhaes, Adkins captures the lyrical sweep of Mendelssohn's F major Sonata from 1838. The youthful F major Sonata from 1820 inspires playing of great clarity and color, especially in the whirlwind finale. Adkins finds the drama in the F minor Sonata, Op. 4, as well as the poetic possibilities in the single, promising fragment from an unfinished D minor Sonata."
