calimacI got an e-mail announcement for a recital by violinist Stella Chen, and just below the headline and the date and time, above the writeup, appeared this quote:
"The outstanding characteristic of her performance was her easy and sure command of the music."—San Francisco Classical Voice
I think I wrote that, I thought. I did write that.
Not the first time I've been quoted this way, but this is why concert promoters are so nice to reviewers; they're hoping for nuggets like that. My honor lies in just writing what I think, and letting the nuggets fall by themselves.
