Press Reviews
Petite and unassuming she masters immense energy, deep musicality, an amazing technique and concentration. Once she starts performing her air of self-confidence reflects a musician who knows only too well what she is about.
Camilleri performed her view of [The Goldberg Variations] with superb confidence. She brought to each variation an insight that never failed to be intriguing. She did not make the work shout at the audience but let its different styles emerge. The counterpoint never flagged and the music, however intricate or slow, invariably moved towards its cadence. Elsewhere she gave full rein to her dazzling virtuosity…
The Camilleri Trio [performed] with delicacy, tenderness and a dance-like aura that fitted delightfully within this work
From the very beginning of her performance…Ms Camilleri showed an astounding technique… There was a lot of strength and stamina in her playing as well as lyricism whenever this was called for. Articulation was clear throughout and the relationship with the orchestra and the conductor tight. [Saint-Saens Piano Concerto No.2, Malta Philharmonic Orchestra, conductor Michael Laus]
Joanne Camilleri gave a very impressive performance of Beethoven’s 32 Variations ... Her music, technical and mnemonic aptitudes enable her to play Beethoven’ Fourth or Fifth Concerto ... would fill to capacity the Mediterranean Conference Centre Republic Hall [Malta] and would make the Maltese admirers more proud of this national phenomenon...
The elements of drama, force and sweetness; the internal psychological battle and the great tension, contrasted by heartbreaking lyrical passages were so successfully brought out in Joanne’s interpretation of Beethoven’s Pathetique Sonata that for a few seconds afterwards there was perfect silence in the hall; a silence that indicated that the audience had been transported to that world created by the composer.
She gave a breath taking performance of Prokofiev’s Sonata No3 in A minor in which she fully satisfied the demands of the work for a variety of pianistic techniques.
The recital was characterised by her great energy and excellent memory, her confident, assertive touch and a musicality underlined by quite remarkable maturity for one her age. Her seemingly easy and effortless adaptability to change of style and idiom was most admirable. Sheer technical brilliance, whenever it occurred, did not gloss over the required attention to detail. There was a feeling that in all three works this pianist relished her interpretation, on which she lavished a lot of feeling and enthusiasm that was easily projected to the audience. |
