Linlithgow Arts Guild – Final show for this season

Filed under: Linlithgow, Linlithgow Academy, Linlithgow Arts Guild, Travel — derryvickers @ 6:19 pm

Two delightful ladies playing at the last event in the Linlithgow Arts Guild in this year’s season.

  • Lana Trotovsek – violin from Slovenia
  • Maria Canyigueral – piano from Spain

Their CVs are impeccable, and their playing lived up their CVs.

They played music by Bach, Beethoven, Clara Schumann and Prokofiev

The Bach probably should have been for harpsicord therefore somewhat miscast for piano; the Beethoven was great as Beethoven always is, for me; the Schumann sweet and the Prokofiev Sonata No 1 for violin and piano was breath-taking.

Two delightful days of music and talk.

Lana was off at crack of dawn on Sunday to Shanghai while Maria to London to tutor her 4 students, then home to Spain.

World travellers both. But this is the life of the groups who play for the Linlithgow Arts Guild.
Most are a class act.

Maria has now acquired a Steinway.  Excellent news!
