What the critics are praising
Lara St. John certainly possesses the requisite technique, flashing temperament, interpretive panache, not to mention the looks...Stunning real sound quality.
Gramaphone Magazine
"A Masterful Disc."
Edmonton Journal
"Some of the most impulsive playing I have ever heard...by far the finest account of Bartok's Rhapsody 2 that I have heard."
American Record Guide
"A sizzling collection of virtuoso pieces from Canadian violinist Lara St. John, one of the rising stars of the instrument and apparently the last woman in North America who still irons her hair."
NOW Magazine
"Lara St. John's Recordings on the Well-Tempered Productions Label reveal a technically adept, terrifically expressive talent"
The New Yorker
"The playing is lusty...St. John stands out by virtue of her earthy tone and spontaneous feeling for phrasing and rhythm... Waxman's fantasy [is] a true restoration of the savage intensity of the original."
