Talenthouse

Through music, a composer tells us a story. A story filled with passion, sadness, strength, wisdom, and simplicity. I recreate that story.

"...Tarley brought both freshness and energy to the logic behind the shaping of her phrases; and her chemistry with Paulson made for one of those edge-of-your-seat encounters in which it felt as if every member of the orchestra was integrally involved in the resulting experience. This was a performance in which one could appreciate the significance of every line of the instrumentation and the extent to which each of those lines has its own way of engaging with the solo instrument. The result was clearly a product of considerable thought from both conductor and soloist; and through it we can appreciate how, when performance is involved, even the most familiar compositions always deserve more than routine attention..." -Stephen Smoliar (SF Classical Music Examiner)



"Mit ihrem fantastischen Solo gewann Hannah Tarley rasch die Zuneigung des Publikums. Sie verfügt über makellose Technik, springt und gleitet butterweich über die Saiten, spielt vibratoreich, silbrig, elegisch, gesanglich im zweiten Satz und frappiert im Finale mit ausgefeilten Bravourstückchen." -Potsdamer (July 2009) (read less)
