Mira Wang was an astonishing soloist in the Gerhard concerto, moving with
complete easy, grace and sunny tone. The piece just flowed from her. And
the orchestra perked up.

She is a first class virtuoso intrumentalist, with a glowing, personal
sound and clear, decisive ideas about how the music ought to go.

...fiery, involving, but aristocratic as well. Technically, she was
supreme, tonally she had finesse, but there was a wealth of feeling,
not worn on the sleeve, but subtle and personal.

...She displayed a magnetic personality, full of warmth,
individuality and fertile imagination, aided by sweet and true
intonation in every register, and a magnificent sound intelligently
shaded by a wide palette of intoxicating colours. And the
remarkable thing is that while she projected exuberant
confidence, her playing somehow remained refreshingly unforced,
refined and natural, oozing with intimate sensuality and
passionate lyricism.

The concert opened without an overture but a rare
performance of Beethoven's "Triple" Concerto for Violin, Cello and Piano,
Op. 56.

Some claim it is lacking in inspiration or depth. Those detractors would
do well to attend tonigh's repeat performance and see otherwise.
Violinist Mira Wang, cellist Jan Vogler and pianist Matthias Kirschnereit
joined Seibel and the LPO for a solid and entertaining reading of this
attractive concerto. Though relatively light, they proved it is hardly
a weak piece of music.
Vogler took the lead, especially in the meditative central theme, with
his splendid intonation through each of the main ideas. As Wang and Kirschnereit
followed, each brought a pleasing sense of urgency and clarity, articulate
yet warm, to the full concerto.

The energetic polonaise of the finale just danced.
