Artiste: David Chan

Netrebko put together a potpourri showcasting her immense vocal gifts as well as her versatility.

Zukerman, master of the violin, viola and baton, displayed his many creative capabilities with panache this weekend with the San Diego Symphony.

One can be forgiven for expecting that a Sunday afternoon concert should consist of light classics to which one doesn’t need to apply too much mental exertion. The works in yesterday afternoon’s performance by the MET Orchestra under music director Fabio Luisi were anything but light. In fact, I suspect that the electrifying energy of the concert would be enough to keep me going for a long time.
