Performance Reviews
Testimonials to Jerome Carrington's performance as a cellist, work as a musicologist, and passion as a musician.
Paul Hume, Washington Post
"Carrington plays with a musical restraint that produces admirable phrasing, while his tone can move easily from a well-controlled whisper to an elegant richness"
"Carrington obviously likes to make his instrument sing. The concerto exploits the mellow resources of the cello, and Carrington's suave, persuasive tone, plus an ease with technical intricacies and care for phrasing, made it a performance of security."
Rochester Democrat-Chronicle
"The quiet first section of the overture sounded especially good, with some excellent solo work by Jerome Carrington, the Indianapolis Orchestra's new first cellist."
Indianapolis Times
"Jerome Carrington, the orchestra's new first cellist, put a sparkle on Tschaikowsky's brilliant Rococo Variations. It was an expert performance. He draws a fine, rich tone."
Indianapolis Star
"Mr. Carrington, in the Bloch work, displayed an almost phenomenal depth of tone. He was rewarded for his outstanding performance by many curtain calls."
The Daily Oklahoman: Oklahoma City
"Carrington demonstrated a praiseworthy technique at the service of a well-balanced artistic temperament of fine sensitivity: he has a beautiful sound and his left-hand technique is outstanding."
El Universal: Caracas, Venezuela
"The program for this recital was not one to be dominated by any ordinary artist, it was a program for a master, in which the technical difficulties as well as those of interpretation presented a test for a real performer. Carrington met this test with authentic mastery. He is a serious interpreter with a solid tone."
