Ah, yes. Out of curosity (simply musical, mind you), I checked out her CD at amazon.com, and found these glowing reviews:"...Sadly, her performance isn't nearly as spotless as her complexion...The trait these performances share is that they're played uncommonly slowly and unremarkably. She performs a passable version of Fauré's Berceuse pour violin, but on Sibelius's Rondino she sounds absolutely stiff and erratic; Ave Maria highlights Brava's poor intonation. It's a good thing she has so many other assets to fall back upon."
"I have never seen such a bad excuse for a classical album"
"I've heard high school violinists with a better tone and more musical instinct."Of course, the Grammophone reviewer loved it...
Not only that, but I think Lara St. John has much more, uh, interesting pictures on her CDs.
