Oramo y Lugansky en el Auditorio: exégesis titánica

Ramón del Buey Cañas, 3rd May

Oramo condujo de forma vibrante, extrayendo de cada atril precisión y concentración, que se tradujeron en interlocución sublime con la voz desgranada por Luganski. Merece ser resaltado el asombroso dominio del cambio de compás, incesante y libre de devaneos o incertidumbres en los engarces.

Stephen Pritchard

Stephen Pritchard began singing as a treble at the age of eight and progressed to become a tenor in Portsmouth Cathedral Choir, the Gibbons Consort and now the English Chamber Choir. Writing about music has been at the core of his 40-year career in journalism, chiefly at the Observer. He has been known to play a pretty mean jazz double bass.
