«(…) une interprétation conjuguant tout le drame voulu, tout le lyrisme voulu, presque de l’humour même, et une rafraîchissante clarté (…)
Quel musicien, ce Yuli Turovsky!»

Vertiginous Double Bass

Thursday, March 13, 2008, 8 pm
Pollack Concert Hall, 555 Sherbrooke St. West

To contradict Patrick Süskind, who is quoted as saying that the double bass is more of an embarrassment than an instrument, we present Roman Patkoló, a virtuoso who will demonstrate all of the agility that this instrument possesses. He will also perform with violinist Feng Ning, winner of the 2006 Paganini Competition. An evening of discovery!
