"François Rabbath is the kind of mysterious figure the musical world needs to have. He is self-taught; yet, in that process he developed a technique and artistry that is remarkable. He is able to play his instrument with the fleetness, flexibility and lightness that most violin virtuosos display in their solo work. Rabbath's best work of the evening came with the Proto piece. It is a two-movement work that gives the soloist plenty of showy passages, and he simply tossed them off with graceful ease. The attractive work almost begs to be liked. Even though it is couched in strongly dissonant language, Proto's use of the sounds is comforting rather than confrontational. And, in the second, fast movement, the soloist plays against and with a doumbek, or hand drum, in writing that draws its spirit from the world of jazz and that idiom's interplay between bass soloist and drummer." - Charles Ward Houston Chronicle
