PLAYERS of Royal Northern Sinfonia treated a virtual audience to a selection of their personal favourites, showcasing their individual talents and collective strength, at the latest concert live streamed from Sage Gateshead. With the year marking the centenary of tango master Astor Piazzola, what better work to form the core of the specially-curated programme than his Four Season of Buenos Aires. Four violinists stepped from the ranks to lead the different seasons, each bringing their own distinctive flair. Spring was fronted by Marie Schreer who attacked the rhythms with gutsy bowing, while her rhapsodic lines had a sensuous flow. The foot-stamping Summer was propelled forward with vigour by Gaëlle-Anne Michel, who took relish in the tremolos and glissandi, ending with a flourish, to strains of Vivaldi’s Winter.
