Brahms and Lieberson comfort with Peter Oundjian and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra

Stanley Fefferman, 22nd May

“Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted”, says the scripture, and it was so last night as Peter Oundjian conducted the mournful music of Brahms and Lieberson. Wave after wave of the rich textures of grieving arose and subsided in song, leaving in their wake the energy of reconciliation.The grieving of Peter Lieberson is deep.
