Review and pictures from Carnegie Hall October 17 2011 "Both truly exeptional musicians - it took only a measure or two of the Sonata No. 2 of Edvard Grieg to realize why David was picked for his current post. A concertmaster must have a tone different from his fellow first violins so that he can stand out as ersatz soloist in many orchestral passages. Last evening's tone was raw-boned, big-voiced, eminently rich and charmingly drew attention to itself in the most seductive manner. Mr. Coucheron has the loan of an eighteenth century instrument, but his consciousness is singularly his own. In general this was a fine performance of the more folksy of the Grieg sonatas, Julie matching David stroke for stroke, Nannerl to his Wolfgang." Fred Kirshnit, The New York Sun Read more...
