Jason Moon and Xu Yilun
Juilliard has two recitals @ Paul Recital Hall today:
Violinist Jason Moon (1999-) from Cupertino CA and pianist Xu Yilun (?- ) from Hebei China.
Both musicians are easy on the eye with applaudable stage demeanor and performed well. Moon has better diction, and his comments are more personable, recounting his road to Juilliard: by April of his graduation from high school, he hadn’t decided where to go … Five years later, never a single regret. He also thanks his parents coming from CA. However, his mouth makes noisy sound (out of habit or bad breath that needs correction…?). Xu’s blue gown is pretty. Her diction is less than ideal and she keeps her comments to the music, mostly.
Their choices of music are pretty good. The second half, both kids exhibit a little spark: Moon picks re-arrangement of Saint-Sa
