but Lupu himself, a unifying presence ... gives some remarkable performances

stunning performances of works both familiar and unfamiliar by violinist Sherban Lupu

Lupu’s vibrato widens and intensifies for the ‘pathetic’ sensibility

Sherban Lupu, in whom Ernst’s music finds a dedicated and brilliant exponent

with his lithe tone and sparkling, relatively small-scale sound, Sherban Lupu

it’s clearly a labour of love for the Romanian fiddle player

more intuitive way of making his acquaintance, by listening to the uniformly excellent performances of his music

ein feines Karacho, ein Säbeln und Rasseln, plötzliche Exotismen und Vogelgezwitscher

interpretata stralucitor,pasionant, de violonistul Sherban Lupu

Sherban Lupu....is as much at home with the fiendish finger-breaker.

Lupu demonstrates a splendid command of both its more static legato moments and its increasingly virtuosic demands

Superbly done all around

Lupu, ... astonishes and bewitches in equal measure

Sherban Lupu epouse a merveille l" esprit cabotin du compositeur dans ces deux premieres volumes,riches de nombreux inedits

the coruscating spiccato figurations are every bit as dazzling as the left-hand pyrotechnics

that sense seeps through every measure of Lupu’s performance

Somehow Lupu has the spirit, dash and verve

and this suite offered challenges to Lupu s fine virtuosity

Violin playing of enormous competence

Diabolical indeed is the adjective that best describes this recital of Sherban Lupu

a superb violinist whose playing style is remarkably

le poseda in cel mai inalt grad

Lupu and Gheorghiu are truly exceptional

The response from the public was gratifying

Its impulsive declamatory phrases, clipped gruppetti and affecting portamentos were all played with an impeccable sense of style
