Even Better Review in BMI

I just learned about another review of the opera where I was recently concertmaster. This one was published in the Boston Musical Intelligencer on 6/24/12.  The reviewer wrote: "it is a tribute to conductor Sergei Khanukaev, concertmaster Stanislav Antonevich, and Tchaikovsky’s wonderful sense of string writing that the ensemble, even with about a tenth of the usual symphonic strings, sounded so lush."  It is always very gratifying when the long hours of hard work pay off with the appreciation of audience and press!
