Bridget Bolliger plays with Vladimir Gorbach in “Stones" for Flute and Guitar by Jim Coyle.
Jim Coyle’s ‘Stones’ for flute and guitar was commissioned by the Sydney Chamber Music Festival 2023. This was the premier of ‘Stones’ performed at the Manly Art Gallery and Museum on Sunday 14 September 2023
“If a listener had never heard the work they could easily imagine that the version for flute and guitar played by Bridget Bolliger and Vladimir Gorbach was the definitive one. These two virtuosic performers were simply superb in the opening movement and revelled in the cascading notes. They developed the rich sonorities that their instruments can provide in the Adagio and explored the different lines in the finale. Bolliger, renowned for her exquisite tone and her immaculate phrasing, charmed the audience with every note. Gorbach is one of those musicians who inspire confidence and his interaction with Bolliger was a delight.”
