Performer: Juilliard Orchestra

The celebrated soprano leads the students of the Juilliard in an enjoyable concert that falters on the side of keeping an even keel.

Sung in English, a performance of Káťa Kabanová lacked the expressive power of the original, but exposed Juilliard Opera students to the marvels of Janáček’s musical style.

Itzhak Perlman led the Juilliard Orchestra in a program of Tchaikovsky touchingly dedicated Pierre Boulez.
