Clémence de Forceville
The soloist of the evening, the young French violinist Clémence de Forceville, has mastered the whole range of different forms of expression required by Mendelssohn's violin concerto, she can bathe in brilliant sounds, she can show off her virtuosity in a lively and spirited manner, but she fascinates the audience even more when she softly breathes lyrical passages with precision. Her angelic, floating sounds were beautiful enough to melt away. In harsh contrast, the temperamental final movement was lively, sparkling and thrilling. The violinist thanked the enthusiastic applause with the Sarabande from the Sonata for Solo Violin in D minor by Johann Sebastian Bach, which, significantly, was again a highly sensitively played slow movement.

"Auch die Solistin des Abends, die Junge Französische Geigerin Clémence de Forceville beherrscht zwar die ganze Bandbreiter unterschiedlicher Ausdrucksformen, wie sie das Violin Konzert von Mendelssohn erfordert, sie kann in fulminanten Klängen baden, kann quirlig und voller Temperament ihre Spieltechnische Virtuosität zur Geltung bringen, noch mehr aber fasziniert sie das Publikum, wenn sie lyrische Passagen leise und mit Präzision dahinhaucht. Ihre engelhardt schwebenden Klänge waren zum Dahinschmelzen schön. In hartem Kontrast dazu kam der Temperamentvolle Schlusssatz spritzig, prickelnd und mitreißend. Für den begeisterten Beifall bedankte sich die Geigerin mit der Sarabande aus der Sonate für Violine Solo D-moll von Johann Sebastian Bach, bezeichnenderweise auch wieder ein höchst sensibel gespielter langsamer Satz."
