Jeanne
Mallow represents the third generation of the remarkable
string playing Fuchs family.
She is a worthy successor to this tradition, playing with dusky aristocratic
tone, exacting intonation, and a kind of conversational musicality that seems
second nature.
She employs generous portamento and rubato, but nothing is forced or mannered.
Ms. Mallow found a quirky sentimentality in her grandmother's pieces that would
have eluded most other artists.

She
is patently gifted, and played with commandingly authoritative
and natural musicality, and the virtuosic flair, vibrant
rhythmic energy, and keen golden tone of a born performer.

Like
her illustrious grandmother, Mallow is an avid arranger
in the hallowed tradition (a tradition that goes all
the way back to Lionel Tertis.)
Mallow is a superbly accomplished instrumentalist (one rarely hears playing
so unfailingly in tune) and her musicianship is naturalness itself.

Ms. Mallow’s
tone had an earthiness, a resonance and a depth that
comes from a core of artistic conviction.
It is this kind of genuine warmth that has deservedly gained
for so many string players in the Fuchs family such recognition.
The consistency of her tone was striking, as was the clarity
of her articulation over the whole range. Jeanne Mallow
is a heart-felt performer, her ideas never sounding at
all calculated.
