Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Montgomery

From the simple observations of Jessie Montgomery’s duets to the slow beauty of Kaija Saariaho’s Light and Matter, the program holds out promise that, whatever else happens, the sun will still rise tomorrow. 

A peripatetic program from The Knights spanning three continents and nearly two centuries, played with an appealing immediacy.

The Philadelphia Orchestra plays Edwin Stein's rarely heard chamber reduction of Mahler 4, perfect for these socially distanced times.  

The Seattle Symphony continues its “Music Unleashed” series with spirited works by youthful composers, focusing on a perennially popular violin concerto.

The Americanism in the compositions on the program was culled from American hymns, gospel and pre-jazz social music, with a highlight being the recently rediscovered work of Florence Price.
