AD TENDO | STRINGS MAGAZINE - REVIEW

STRINGS ATTACHED

by: Terry Robbins | June, 2025

The American violinist Simone Porter makes her recording debut with ad tendo, a collection of mostly 21st-century solo violin works inspired by philosopher Simone Weil’s quote “Absolutely unmixed attention is prayer”

"...an excellent CD on which Porter fully exploits the tonal qualities of the on-loan 1740 Carlo Bergonzi violin."
