Live, Video: Find classical music concert, opera, ballet and dance reviews | Mercadante

The Argentinian countertenor brings a program of music performed by famed castrato Giovanni Battista Velluti to L'Alliance. 

A great orchestral performance of an exciting score don't quite mask the dramatic weaknesses of Opera Rara's latest.

Mercadante's score proves to be something of a missing link between bel canto and early Verdi. 

A long awaited debut for an opera which revealed itself as a Romantic masterpiece.

Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra is no stranger when it comes to working with world-renowned soloists – their earlier collaborative roster includes the likes of Sviatoslav Richter, Menuhin, Rostropovich et al, but their rapport with Emmanuel Pahud is something that transcends musical partnership and wanders into the organically-knit companionship territory.

Avec son opéra-pastiche qui réunit, sur quatre siècles, un florilège d’œuvres musicales créées d’après Cervantès et son personnage le plus célèbre, le metteur en scène suisse réalise un sublime tour de force.
