The first of Yulia Chaplina's 4 concerts in Cornwall this week took place at Lavethan House on Bodmin Moor yesterday afternoon. Krysia Osostowicz (the concert host and known to you as leader of the Brodsky Quartet) wrote to me about Yulia's playing this morning:
" Just a note to say that we absolutely loved Yulia Chaplina's concert this morning. Thanks so much for the suggestion! She is a true artist: deeply sincere, lyrical, intelligent and highly skilled but totally unpretentious, with never a dull moment. I enjoyed every minute of her playing, and so did our audience."
