Intérprete: Laurence Kilsby

A wonderful performance of a hitherto little known 17th-century version of the Orpheus legend is performed by Raphaël Pichon and Pygmalion at the Adelaide Festival. 

It is hard to imagine a better performance of Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610 than this one by the French ensemble Pygmalion under the direction of Raphaël Pichon. 

The French ensemble Pygmalion enraptures the audience at the first night of the Adelaide Festival with a concert of music by JS Bach and his predecessors.

The French conductor pairs Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with several of the composer’s more obscure miniatures, performed alongside thematically related poetry.

Projection proves a problem for the singers, but this Theodora at BOZAR is nevertheless full of musical and spiritual beauty.

La prise de rôle de Léa Desandre fait l’événement, tandis que la direction de Thomas Dunford marque une belle étape dans sa carrière de chef, avec un ensemble Jupiter aux effectifs renforcés.
