Capriccio: Strauss’ swansong at the Staatsoper
Vienna State Opera offered a solid production in which precious little gleamed.
From Beethoven to Shostakovich at the Musikverein
If Beethoven referred to his own compositional approach as “redend” (speaking), then Levit speaks him clearly, beautifully and fluently.
Softly awakes my cold, cold heart: Samson et Dalila
Saint-Saëns' exotic dip into the Bible is given a cool update in Alexandra Liedtke's new production at the Wiener Staatsoper.
Artistic prowess from Hrůša at the Musikverein
An unusual programme at the Musikverein, drawing together works by Mendelssohn, Brahms and a piano concerto by Britten.
Goerne and Trifonov at the Konzerthaus
Despite some fascinating, impressive and often beautiful moments, the consistent refusal to give the audience time to applaud, pause and digest what they had just heard turned the evening into a wash of death songs.
Clarity, vision and precision: Philharmonia Zürich at the Konzerthaus
Grimaud married incredible precision and rigour with moving sensitivity and ease. She led the listener clearly through the score without dropping a detail, but never gave the feeling that she was micro-managing.
Bringing a picnic to the poltergeist
Jean-Louis Martinoty’s scenically seductive Don Giovanni comes as a welcome relief from recent Regietheater aberrations.
