Eine „Bach Christmas” wortwörtlich zwischen den Traditionen, interpretatorisch zwischen gewohnt dramatischen Reizen Pichons und stimmlich Unpassenderem.

Black History in der Klassik: H+H Orchestra mit Bologne und Haydn

Jens Klier, 23rd May

Watson und Nosky agierten in unaufdringlich präziser Ausgewogenheit als brillante Geschichtsschreiber wie -erzähler.

Woody's Suite for String Orchestra adroitly transformed charming songs by the 18th-century writer, politician and abolitionist Charles Ignatius Sancho into Baroque dances.

Ein Gedankenfetzenfliegen: Vivaldi mit der Handel and Haydn Society

Jens Klier, 16th February

Kantate und Instrumentalkonzerte vermitteln in Zeiten kleinerer Besetzung das Gefühl von Oper – und das ziemlich groß. Eine gelungene Flucht.

Valentine for the birthday boy from Bezuidenhout and the H&H

Bezuidenhout and the Handel and Haydn Society offer the Boston audience an entirely different sound world where the music sings in a new voice.

Kevin Wells was bitten by the opera bug at 10, having heard a 1936 recording of Jussi Björling singing “Che gelida manina”. He has never been the same since. A student of voice, performance practice, the history of singing and opera, he holds advanced degrees in Italian and has lived and worked in Italy off and on since the 70s. La Scala became a second home as the Met had been during college daze. Now in his native Boston, he works as translator, tutor, and language coach, haunts Symphony Hall, and would haunt the Opera House had it not been demolished in 1958!
