Spalding Recital in Jordan Hall Runs Through Four Works
Violinist Albert Spalding performed in Jordan Hall with a program including Carpenter’s violin piano sonata, Reger’s A minor sonata, Chausson’s Poeme, and a Spalding suite. The review praises Spalding’s beauty of tone and technique, notes the Carpenter piece as uneven but revealing, lauds the Reger last movements, and comments on the need for orchestral color absent in the piano version of Chausson. It credits Ysaye as a model for coherence and color in piano transcriptions and reflects on Spalding as an accessible yet not highly original composer-performer.
