Ça y est... Vendredi 19 décembre a eu lieu le dernier concert de musique classique à la Salle Pleyel. L’ONDIF et Wayne Marshall ont proposé pour l'occasion plusieurs “chefs-d’œuvre de la musique classique au cinéma”. Un maître-mot pour cette soirée si spéciale : émotion. 

Una noche para el recuerdo que demuestra que en Ludovic Tézier tenemos a un barítono extraordinario y, muy posiblemente, un futuro gran Wotan.

Josep Pons volvía al frente de la OSG en una velada que, tras la cancelación del violinista que iba a interpretar el Concierto de Alban Berg, se conformó en un programa entermanente formado por música orquestal de Richard Wagner.

In his 2011 book Verdi and/or Wagner, currently doing the rounds in libraries across the UK for obvious reasons, Peter Conrad devotes the best of 400 pages to essentially draw all sorts of divisive lines: the sensual Italian song versus the cerebral German symphony; the radically different conceptions of tragedy (“Tragedy in Wagner is an act of will […] Verdi’s characters, unlike Wagner’s, would p

As the audience assembled in Roy Thomson Hall on Wednesday, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Members of the orchestra were taking their seats on the stage, getting ready to tune their instruments. However, anyone paying close attention to the setting would have seen a fixture hanging high above the stage.

The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra really has the perfect Wagner sound. Their full, vibrant string tone and magnificent pealing brass were fully in evidence in a thrilling rendition of the concert version of the overture from Tannhäuser.
