Jennifer Koh

Here's the violinist Jennifer Koh, accompanied by Reiko Uchida, playing the first movement of "String Poetic" by Jennifer Higdon.  Higdon also arranged this for flute and piano as "Flute Poetic."  Aside from the "inside the piano" keyboard effects, this sounds to me like a fairly conservative neo-romantic sort of piece, not that there's anything wrong with that...  I've only heard Koh once, a long while back, and I remember that at the time she had a really spectacular instrumental technique, though perhaps not always the most sensitive tone.  She has an interesting repertoire, and she's currently doing a recital series at the 92nd Street Y featuring unaccompanied Bach alongside 20th century works.
