Britten in the Rain: a Dream that charms in parts but lacks cohesion

Andrew Larkin, 28th May

Rain cannot wash away the charm of Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Lismore Castle, a visually clever, if uneven, outdoor staging with moments of real enchantment.

Zehetmair and the ICO shine in Britten and Beethoven at Kilkenny

Michael Roddy, 16th August

Violist Ruth Killius did double duty as page turner and violist with violinist husband Zehetmair in knockout Britten.

An enjoyable Magic Flute from Irish National Opera

Andrew Larkin, 21st May

A thoroughly satisfying, entertaining production of Mozart's Die Zauberflöte from Irish National Opera. Anna Devin delivers a delightful Pamina and Nick Pritchard a convincing Tamino.

Fun and frolics at Irish National Opera's Figaro

Andrew Larkin, 17th April

A wonderful ful-filled caper by the Irish National Opera of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro with Erraught as Susanna and Miskelly as Cherubino really impressing.

Entre modernité et modernisme, le très joyeux anniversaire de l’Orchestre de Paris

Suzanne Lay-Canessa, 2nd November

Proposer un programme composé exclusivement de compositions des XXème et XXIème siècles a de quoi faire mentir ceux qui réduiraient volontiers la musique savante à son seul classicisme.

Musique spatiale dans le cadre du Festival Radio France à Montpellier

Julie Jozwiak, 17th July

Un concert de « musique spatiale », composé d’œuvres de Grisey, Saariaho, Maresz, Harvey et Boule, au festival de Radio France, à Montpellier. Le spectateur est projeté dans un autre espace-temps, pour une immersion au cœur de la technologie et de l’innovation artistique qui ne peut laisser indifférent.

Edward Sava-Segal

Edward has been living in New York for the last 25 years, one of the reasons being the extraordinarily rich cultural life in this city. He has studied piano and classical music in his early years. He switched later on to computer science and data architecture but he kept an unwavering interest in following the classical music phenomenon here in New York and in his travels. Edward occasionally reviews fine arts events for the most prestigious literary magazine in Romania, his home country.
