Utter despair and heavenly bliss: Ken-David Masur leads the Boston Symphony in incidental music

Intimes symphonies : le tendre hommage de l’ONF à Kurt Masur

Suzanne Lay-Canessa, 9th February

Confier l’ONF aux mains du fils et fidèle élève Ken-David Masur pour un programme dédié au grand Kurt relevait à la fois de l’évidence et de la gageure. Parcourir avec lui les pages les plus emblématiques d’un symphoniste au répertoire moins cosmopolite que viscéralement composite suffirait-il à invoquer la tempérance, la vigueur et l’affabilité de ses interprétations ?
