A
review of a Elgar Cello Concerto performed by Alfia Nakipbekova
with Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Marius Stravinsky
on the 9th December 2007 at the Cadogan Hall:
"I had never heard Ms Nakipbekova perform live and knew
her better for having studied with Mstislav Rostropovich and
for being one of the last present day cellists who had master
classes with Jacqueline du Pre. I believe she did full justice
to her distinguished late teachers. She was wonderful, delivering
one of the most beautiful, poignant performances of Elgar's
concerto that I have ever witnessed in concert. She instantly
captured the audience with her graceful, smooth style and delicate
dexterity. Her technique seems flawless, with the easy, natural
legato which so often appears to be an inherent characteristic
of the best cellists from the former Soviet Union."
