Sarah Chang Review Strikes Sour Note
- Share via
We attended the Sarah Chang concert on Thursday, Nov. 6, at the Laguna Beach Artists’ Theatre.
After reading Chris Pasles’ review (“Violinist, 16, Has Skill but Lacks Subtlety,” Nov. 8), we have no doubt that we attended, but did he?
Mr. Pasles’ review may impress a minute segment of the music-loving population, but it certainly did not reflect the general mood of the concert audience.
Everyone we spoke to was impressed by Miss Chang’s expertise, passion and charm. Only 16 years old and a commanding performer.
We believe it was mean-spirited of the reviewer to omit mention of Miss Chang’s several standing ovations and two encores, or wasn’t he there to observe them?
We don’t know who Mr. Pasles wrote the review for, but it clearly was not for the music lovers who attended the concert.
