Lisa Jacobs successfully performed the Bruch violin concerto in Sheffield UK October 17 2019.
‘There was warm, optimistic applause when violinist Lisa Jacobs took the stage to play Bruch’s First Violin Concerto, but what the audience was not prepared for was the wonderful, fresh and dramatic interpretation of an old concert war-horse. Jacobs is well known for her passionate performances, but to experience it at first hand in a venue that isn’t huge, was a privilege. The orchestra responded too, and in the first two movements, Jacobs’ wildly emotional playing was amplified by the haunting beauty of the woodwind and the full power of the brass. The finale is all about rhythm, and Jacobs attacked it not just with the bow, but with her whole body, throwing off the virtuoso passages easily, and once again the orchestra responded, Clare driving the whole into a frenzied dance. Naturally the hall erupted into whoops, insisting on an encore, so Jacobs gave them the Sarabande from the opening Bach sonata. Steve Draper, Bachtrack UK, October 2019
