A week ago last Saturday night, I went to a concert by the Rutgers Fesitval Orchestra, conducted by Richard Auldon Clark. The concert was a part of the Rutgers Summerfest, an annual festival during the month of July. At the concert I attended, Rachel Barton was the soloist for Bruch's Scottish Fantasy. On stage, before performing, she made a short talk graciously dedicating her performance to Samuel Sanders, who had just died. She recorded her first CD with Sanders, which features Sarasate's complete Spanish Dances and Carmen Fantasy. She said that the Scottish Fantasy was his favorite work for violin, and she had always wanted to play it for him but had never had the chance. She, then, proceeded to knock me, and to judge by the ovation the rest of the audience, out. For an encore, she played a solo piece by the composer who had been called the successor to Paginini, because of the difficulty of his work, based on a Irish folk song. Just amazing! I apologize for not having more information. Performers like her are on another plane. Ron Chaplin
