Viola and piano recital
I In the School of Music at the University of Canterbury yesterday, David Middleton, [with lola Shelley at the piano, played a Concerto for Viola by Zelter, and Schubert’s Sonata in G minor — a work that could be, and often is, played on the violin. The recital was part of the final examination for a Bachelor of Music degree. The Zelter work was not (likely to fire the imagination I or to cause flags to be flown,
: [ but David Middleton played! Jit with vitality of tone and; [with care for its shaping. lt[ ’ was a period piece not with-; ■ out a measure of charm. i The Schubert sonata was! ; played by both performers : with verve and appreciation; , of Schubert’s lovely melodies; • which he could fashion with! I incomparable grace and f magical Pied Piper enchant-i :ment. Tone, expression, I t exulting strength, and lyrical IToy were in the work and ,iwere realised in the playing.
