…[Hsin-Yun Huang’s] recent Williams Hall recital… showed – above
and beyond the high technical command, which the ear quickly took for
granted – a heartening flexibility, keenness, alertness to context…. In
Bach’s Suite No. 6, the prevailing sound was of sweetness, fullness,
fleetness. In the musical results she generated tension that took its
force from letting you hear frankly how Bach had composed this music. The
sublime joinery had its voice, likewise the sense of those ghostly,
implied harmonies. None of it was self-consciously, point-scoringly
“free”; and for the best of reasons, it didn’t have to be.
A rather firmer manner was just what the doctor ordered for the
Sonata for Viola and Piano (1939) of Paul Hindemith…. Hsin-Yun Huang and
Thomas Sauer left no doubt that this was top-drawer Hindemith – lean,
athletic, zestful, and saying yes to life.
