Two reviews from tour of England, Performing  Mendelssohn Violin Concerto:

• "...tremendously gifted violinist...an impeccable technique and persuasive communication of this wonderful piece." -- The Birmingham Post UK

 

• "A bravura performance...The full, rich tone of the violin gave ample proof of a soloist at one with his instrument, demonstrating rigorous technique as well as a passionate love for the music." -- Stratford-upon-Avon Herald

 

• "Sushansky thrilled the audience with a stunning and emotion filled performance of the Vitali Chaconne in G minor, a gorgeous and difficult work...performed with passion and beauty. In a night of many wonderful performances, this was perhaps the best of all...Sushansky's training, talent, and musicality were noticebly on display throughout the concert as his fingers seemed to move effortlessly across the strings of his violin...he was consistently superb...With a true to form sense of humor, Sushansky introduced Casta Diva, the famous soprano aria from Bellini's opera Norma, and then indicated that the packed house was "about to hear 'Norma' in pants." With this he lifted his violin and delivered an emotionally searing performance that was so magnetic that it seemed to make time stand still. The concert ended with the Act III Solo from I Lombardi, by Giuseppe Verdi, a beautiful and exciting mini violin concerto from Verdi's fourth opera...Full of passion, hope, and love, and performed brilliantly by Sushansky and Rodriguez, it provided a pefect ending to a truly wonderful evening of Italian music." -- DCMetroTheaterArts
