"She stands at the head of today's supreme viola virtuosi - white-hot
in delivery, kaleidoscopic in tone colours, electrifying in rhythmic attack,
an obvious inspiration to composers."
"...technical wizardry...nothing less than a musical dynamo..."
"...an artist wholly at one with her instrument, producing rich,
singing tone, and displaying an immaculate technique."
"Rivka Golani is a magnificent violist, with impeccable technique
and both taste and power...she may be carving out a place of her own that
no other performer on the instrument can reach."
"...riveting, intensely physical stage presence...hurtling momentum,
constant risk-taking, complete technical assurance...One can only be glad
she dedicated herself to art rather than warfare, for she would be an
awesome adversary."
"...I don't think I have ever heard the viola more brilliantly exploited
as a virtuoso instrument or more brilliantly played..."
"No nobler music-making could be imagined than this eloquent performance.
I hope aspirant violists observe Golani's immaculate bowing, the grand
tradition brought to the service of inspired musical insight."
"It is a dream...A violist of touching depth, as well as painter
and mathematician - altogether a woman of fierce power whose music can
fill a whole continent..."
"Her playing was distinguished above all by its passionate intensity...And,
especially by the sonorous richness of her tone."
"Golani's stage presence is not one of superficial bravura, but
rather of sincerity and compassion."
"Rivka Golani...a phenomena!" |
