Carol Williams Concert Review by Allen
Walker
I
attended the Carol Williams concert on the 4/26 (Publix 4) Wurlitzer
at
Long
Island University (formerly Paramount Theatre) in Brooklyn NY.
"Rarely does one hear Messiaen's
strikingly
original
voice played so compellingly, so
naturally"
The Washington Post
"Williams assembled with a virtuos's
flair
a program
of mostly French and English composers"
The Washington Post
"Ms. Williams plays with verve
and style
and an innate musicality.
More than technically excellent, her
playing is artistic without being
artsy"
The American Organist
"Exceptional virtuoso playing of
the
highest order"
Chicago Chapter of the American
Guild of
Organists
"Toccata, Op 53, (Vierne) with an
unflagging rhythmic pulse
and some pungent chromaticisms which
made a
highly challenging
and exhilarating finale to a
thoroughly enjoyable recital"
