Live, Video: Kritiken zu klassischen Konzerten, Opern, Ballett und Tanz finden | Toronto Mendelssohn Choir

Gustavo Gimeno and the TSO give a performance that’s both carefully thought out and very grand, aided by excellent soloists and the huge Toronto Mendelssohn Choir.

On the final leg of their North American tour, the Budapest Festival Orchestra’s Mahler proves a a transformative experience within the intimate setting of Toronto’s Koerner Hall. 

The Toronto Symphony kicks off the 2025-26 season with an intriguing and exciting double bill of the very new and the very familiar. 

A crowd-pleaser is joined by a Szymanowski rarity to close the TSO's season. 

English conductor Nicholas McGegan led a responsible reading of Handel's now-classic oratorio, infusing some dramatic and lyrical touches into a largely unruffled evening.

“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.
