What the Critics say

 "Of Prokofiev's Opus 94 Sonata, a work full of piquant melody of various  kinds, here was an excellent reading, technically adept, and with a  lively appreciation of the music's humour. Brahms's Sonata Opus 78 was  shapely, relaxed and yet always cogent, full of autumnal mellowness"  

 "Miss Slater has a good line in long drawn-out phrases and her tone was full and resonant in Brahms's Sonata in G Major.   

 "Stunning recital. Violinist returns to a triumph"
 

"Nottingham has produced a top-rank Violinist. Prokofiev's Sonata in  D is a virtuosic work, Carol Slater gave a thrilling performance and  caught the full measure of the composer's quirky intensity. Passionate,  sardonic, whistful and swaggering".  

"The Bartok Violin Concerto is a work that can only be described as  gigantic. Carol Slater attacked it with such energy and precision as to  remind me once again of the passionate depths and the lyrical tenderness  of this great composer's work. 

"Last night's recitalists, the violinist Carol Slater and the pianist  Susan McGaw, were of so high a calibre which made it impossible to  distinguish between the instrumentalists, so perfectly did they play  into each other's hands in Debussy's alternating moods of passionate  declamation and tender melancholy. This perfection of balance between  contrasting elements was even more assured in Stravinsky's 'Duo  Concertant'.  

'ULTIMA HORA' - MENORCA:
 

"Carol Slater offered a virtuosic interpretation of the 'Ballade'  for solo violin by Ysaye. She performed with authority, vigour and rich  sonority"
