“Montgomery was a serene presence amid the flurry of percussive punctuations and complex rhythms around her. While the first movement featured devilish double stops in the unaccompanied cadenza, her most compelling playing came in the highly exposed slow movement, essentially a violin soliloquy with minimal percussive interference. Montgomery played the slow-winding stream of even quarter notes with supreme legato and subtle phrasing before fading into nothingness. Finally, the return of the bevy of complex percussion led the third movement to a thrilling close.”
