Press for Jennifer Carsillo:
"...confident and well-projected, with a lovely tone throughout."--The Republic, Columbus, Indiana
"...lovely violin wizardry...."--Herald-Times, Bloomington, Indiana
"The intense playing in Samuel Barber's 'Concerto for Violin and Orchestra,' featuring violinist Jennifer Carsillo, added drama to the soothing performance."
"...elegant playing."--The Republic, Columbus, Indiana
"Carsillo performed the first two movements--the allegro and the andante--with clear articulation, precise harmonics and sweeping melodic lines...."
"The third movement is a relentless five minutes of nearly constant motion for the soloist, which Carsillo performed brilliantly."--The Republic, Columbus, Indiana
"...plenty of vigor and bite, really digging into the strings for crisp rhythmic articulation."--The Advocate, Baton Rouge, Louisiana
"Carsillo...entered the sea of black coats and sleeves wearing a white dress, and she glistened like a pearl with the house spotlight upon her. Her potent violin blended with the orchestra when necessary, but otherwise she held the floor with seemingly effortless strokes of the bow upon the strings."--The Lufkin Daily News, Texas
"...full of delicacy, expression, the timbre of violin teaming up perfectly with the sounds of the harp."
"In this work we had the impression that it contained no technical difficulties; the harpist and violinist gave an interpretation full of personality and self-sacrifice in return for all the beauties."
"It is therefore understandable why the normally reserved public of Cremona also gave a standing ovation to these two interpretations."--OPMUDA, France
"J.S. Bach's Violin Concerto No. 2 in E Major...served as an impressive showcase for violinist Jennifer Carsillo. ...its three movements came off as a unified, often rhapsodic whole, making Bach's mysterious gifts of counterpoint all the more magical."--The Times, Shreveport, Louisiana
"...an athletic and evocative performance...."--Swans.com
