Lucille Gruber Reviews

 

New York: Weill Recital Hall, Carnegie Hall

 

…..”Not a trace of pedantry or academicism intruded on Miss Gruber's sensitive and technically impeccable performances…...Playing on an instrument by William Dowd, she was careful to make correct stylistic differentiations without losing sight of the infectiously entertaining quality of the music ….. A good deal of the ebullient effect came from Gruber's sophisticated and spontaneous musical instincts that instantly brought the rhythmic patterns bounding to life. ...A wonderful recital, and by a musician who thoroughly commands both her instrument and its repertory”. New York Times (Peter Davis)
