Brava!
Sunday May 10 2009
Today I drove up to Portland to hear a girl I know play her senior high school recital.
Jessica Woolf won the Oregon state high school championship this past year on the Strauss Concerto, and studies with Martin Hebert.
Today she played:
1. Marcello Concerto (in C minor)
2. 1st Rhapsodie from Deux Rhapsodies by Loeffler
3. Saint Saens Sonata
Intermission
4. Poulenc Trio
5. Ravel Pavane for a Dead Princess (transcribed for EH/Piano)
6. Gabriel’s Oboe
It was quite the marathon, and I was quite impressed by her technique, tone and stamina! My god that girl has chops of steel! I must say it was probably the best high school recital I’ve ever been to. Certainly the best high school OBOE… recital I’ve ever been to.
Brava Jessica!
