Her abundant technical facility is matched by her exemplary artistry’ ‘A
hot-blooded artist who prefers to delight in the moment and wants to
share it immediately with the audience ... very irresistible and
atypical concert’ "Enviable technique, and plays with splendid aplomb." "Dr.
Williams plays with passion and imagination, eliciting sounds that are
alternately grandiose, ethereal, exotic, and colorful....Her abundant
technical facility is matched by her exemplary artistry." "A flawless program...[playing] as glittery as the gown she wore." "A
brilliant but iconoclastic Carol Williams...the hot-blooded artist who
prefers to delight in the moment and wants to share it immediately with
the audience...very irresistible and atypical concert." "A
virtuosic performance...A veteran of numerous performances at the
outdoor Spreckels Pavilion, as well as recitals worldwide, Williams was
right at home with the eclectic program, playing with brilliance in the
Liszt, tenderness in the Cabena, playfulness in the Gershwin, and sheer
enjoyment in the Kleive toccata." "A
virtuoso's flair...out of the thundering masses of sound Williams
produced delicate, flower-like arpeggiated figures that touched the
spirit....Rarely does one hear Messiaen's strikingly original voice
played so compellingly, so naturally." "Williams
plays with verve and style and an innate musicality. More than
technically excellent, her playing is artistic without being
artsy...extremely enjoyable." "A performance of epic proportions, in keeping with the artiste's already well-established reputation." "Electrifying...she
quickly had the audience in the palm of her hand...a brilliant
performance; clear, bright, authoritative playing...flowing,seamless
performance--superb!" "Williams takes Barrie by storm...flamboyant...magnificent." "Rises
to the challenges of her varied program with a transparent grace and
lightness of touch that more than compensate for the somber colors of
this fine old instrument." "The delightful and extraordinarily talented artiste Carol Williams...truly stunning." "The
power of the organ unleashed...Carol Williams chatted easily with the
audience, introducing most of the pieces herself in a warm, approachable
manner...awe inspiring...some Broadway razzamatazz...suitably
jubilant...controlled complexity and mayhem." |
