La Orquesta Sinfónica de Navarra, bajo la batuta Michal Nesterowicz, ofreció un concierto muy especial el pasado jueves en el que el centro de atención cayó sobre la aterciopelada voz de la soprano ukraniana Olga Pasichnyk a través de un programa que nos llevó del s. XVIII al XX.

This concert was a triumph of smart programming, combining the third symphonies of Sibelius and Lutosławski, as well as works for soprano and orchestra by these composers – both modernists in their own ways. It was also an ambitious showcase for British soprano Lucy Crowe, who sparkled in every sense (her striking peacock-green dress, finished with gleaming gems, never threatened to upstage her).

At first hearing the idea of the music of Witold Lutosławski as the centerpiece of a Los Angeles Philharmonic “Green Umbrella” concert made a strangely incongruous impression. Music new or difficult is the usual fare of such a program.
