Espectros sinfónicos en el Teatro Real

Leonardo Mattana Ereño, 13th January

Aparecieron fantasmas en el escenario del Teatro Real; espectros, salidos de la batuta de Gustavo Dudamel e instalados entre los miembros de la Filarmónica de Viena, que nos condujeron entre los sueños narcóticos de un joven romántico francés y la insondable angustia del que fue director del conjunto vienés.

La Wiener Philharmoniker y Harding en el Palau: lujo sonoro

Miquel Martínez, 27th June

Simbiosis ideal entre un conjunto envidiable y una batuta que, lejos de pasar el trámite de hacerse cargo del programa de un colega de profesión, hizo suya la oportunidad y buscó dejar su sello en las interpretaciones de unas obras clave dentro del repertorio sinfónico.

Christopher Halls

Sparked by a keen interest in early performance practice whilst studying violin at universities in Melbourne and Vienna, Chris embarked on a freelance career with ensembles in Europe, America, also performing regularly with the Australian Brandenburg Orchestra back in his native homeland. Pragmatic and undeterred from continuing his journey after a serious accident abruptly ended his violinistic ambitions, he now shares his knowledge and insight into performance as a music critic, formerly writing for Vienna’s Wiener Zeitung and currently for the South China Morning Post in Hong Kong, where he also studies wine, his other great passion!
