Performer: Ted Sperling

Some rousing singing from the RTÉ Philharmonic Choir of the famous choruses from the great operas. 

In a work as complex and multifaceted as Mahler’s Third, plumbing the depths of the music is not a trivial task. Mehta and his orchestra shone in moments but not uniformly across the symphony.

Ted Sperling conducts Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II’s musical Show Boat at Avery Fisher Hall featuring a star-studded cast (Vanessa Williams, Norm Lewis, Julian Ovenden, Fred Willard, Lauren Worsham).
