Reviews from London, the regions and abroad, across a career on the concert platform.
Apart from her fine technique, Margaret Bruce had a sensitive feeling for rhythm and timbre; she successfully introduced Tucapsky's 'Fantasia' as a brilliant as well as a deeply poetic work.
Margaret Bruce, who played superbly, is an experienced and brilliant pianist.
There was no doubt of Margaret Bruce's professionalism. She displayed both technical finesse, and energy in the Mozart Concerto, and a mobility of line, with affectation, in a performance faithful to the intention of the composer.
Miss Bruce's beautifully rounded pearly tone... natural affinity with music of the romantic school... clear textures and clarity of finger work.
Margaret Bruce showed that tenacity of purpose, that controlled energy and meticulous attention to the composer's intentions and that musical integrity that marks the true musician.
Margaret Bruce was the effective soloist in three concertos.
...clear style.
If Margaret Bruce were a bit of water, she'd be a river in spate! Fast and furious, full of vitality and texture.
It was most enjoyable and I now feel I know a bit about Tucapsky. Margaret Bruce is a phenomenal pianist and I can't think how we have not approached her as a soloist, or in the Richmond Duo, to play for Barnes Music Society.
