La Messe en si mineur de Bach aux Violons du Roy fut une véritable expérience métaphysique, avec un chef investi, un orchestre et un chœur d'élite et des solistes de tout premier ordre.

Bernard Labadie réalise un sans-faute à la tête des Violons du Roy et de La Chapelle de Québec dans deux bijoux du répertoire sacré de la fin du XVIIIe siècle.

Stephanie Blythe appeared in recital with Les Violons du Roy Saturday evening at the Maison Symphonique de Montréal, the second stop in a seven-city tour that the renowned mezzo-soprano is taking with the ensemble this fall. Blythe performed Haydn’s infrequently heard cantata Arianna a Naxos and favorite arias from Handel’s Giulio Cesare.

While this concert’s marketing was focused on Mozart’s Requiem, it was Haydn in the first half that made the greater impact, in the form of an ecstatically virtuosic performance of his Cello Concerto no. 1 with soloist Alban Gerhardt.

Saturday night’s performance of Handel’s oratorio Theodora at La Maison Symphonique in Montréal was magnificent, probably the best concert I’ve seen this season.
