Vivaldi revived at Sommets Musicaux

David Karlin, 31st January

Let's be brutally honest, concertgoers: Vivaldi's Four Seasons has been played to death - recorded by everybody who's anybody. It's been a wonderful old warhorse over the years, but it has been flogged once too often. Can it really be possible, then, to bring this animal back from the dead and rekindle our enthusiasm?

Complots russes à Genève avec le retour de Fedora

Stéphane Lelièvre, 17th December

Le rare opéra de Giordano, inégal mais intéressant, fait son retour dans l'institution genevoise avec un plateau vocal de grande qualité, emmené par le duo Roberto Alagna-Aleksandra Kurzak.

Maby Muñoz-Hénonin, 3rd June

Con David Greilsammer como invitado doble, director y pianista, la OSN nos ofreció un programa cien por cien Mozart, una interesante propuesta que combinó elementos de la tradición con algunas referencias a la interpretación histórica y un toque contemporáneo.
