Extractions: THE ACCLAIMED ISRAELI AVIV QUARTET EMBARK ON NATIONWIDE TOUR WITH AWARD-WINNING YOUNG IRISH PIANIST FINGHIN COLLINS, NOVEMBER 3-16 "A beautifully tuned, collective sound that is distinctively their own" Washington Post (Aviv Quartet) "The ensemble was so consistently perfect that one started to take it for granted…a remarkable parade of technique, everything purposeful and fitted into beautifully shaped, goal-driven phrasing." Irish Times (Aviv Quartet) "A revelation" said the Houston Herald of Finghin Collins' American début with the Houston Symphony Orchestra in 2000. This November, the award-winning Irish pianist teams up with outstanding Israeli-based ensemble the Aviv Quartet for a nationwide tour from November 3-16, 2002 as part of Music Network's 2002 Autumn Season. Comprising Sergey Ostrovsky (1st violin), Evgenia Epshtein (2nd violin), Shuli Waterman (viola) and Rachel Mercer (cello), this young quartet swept the top prizes at the Melbourne International Chamber Music Competition in 1999, showing remarkable technical and interpretative qualities.

Extractions: Cellisten Alban Gerhardt , nå bosatt i Berlin etter mange år i New York. En fabelaktig virtuos som vi første gang fikk høre i 1988 da han kom løpende inn på scenen og spilte virtuos musikk opprinnelig skrevet for fiolin stående. Alle som eventuelt har prøvd å spille cello løpende vet at det er vanskeligere enn det høres ut!! Men først og fremst er han respektert for sitt fantastiske spill verden over, sin utrolige tekniske kapasitet og sitt musikalske overskudd. I tillegg til å delta på flere kammerkonserter vil Alban være solist på årets åpningskonsert med Undomssymfonikerne. Pianisten Finghin Collins møtte vi i Irland i fjor, en pianist som vant den store Clara Haskil konkurransen i 1999. Denne spesielle konkurransen har mye Mozart, Schubert og Beethoven på programmet, og søker vinnere med spesielle poetiske kvaliteter, hvor andre konkurranser satser på de unge virtuosene. Denne prisen henger svært høyt og vi er enormt stolte over å få presentere denne pianisten på Elverum. Han deler en konsert med Alban Gerhardt den 7. august klokken 2200, det kommer til å bli en sterk presentasjon av to av dagens yngre toppmusikere. Programmet er svært kontrastert og jeg tror vi alle kommer til å få oppleve stor musisering.

"It is some time since I heard a piano recital which gave me as much pleasure as that given by Finghin Collins at the Crawford Gallery. ... This young man has a most sumptuous tone at every dynamic level, and this constantly beautiful sound is allied to a singer's sense of phrasing and colour. His pedalling ... was spectacularly good and added tremendous richness to the tone."
