Anglais - A Pelléas et Mélisande of Dark Beauty at Liceu
[…] Pélleas look like a kind of French Parsifal. Julie Fuchs, who was debuting in the character, made an extraordinary Mélisande. Delicate in expression but strong in voice, she placed her character in an exquisite natural sensuality, primordial, without artifice. Also extraordinary was Simon Keenlyside’s Golaud, his voice worked perfectly in style and diction, but he was also the best actor on stage and filled his ambivalent character with apt subtleties. Veteran Franz-Josef Selig also made a very complete Arkel both vocally and on stage. Ruth González played the character of little Yniold and made her voice sound totally and appropriately childish and not like a soprano voice. It was a luxury to have Sarah Connolly for the role of Genèvieve and Stefano Palatchi did a great job as a doctor. The production, signed by Àlex Ollé, is a revision of the production that he did […]

Young contemporary composers to late Haydn: London Oriana Choir at Opera Holland Park
[…] well. Vittoria Aleotti was an Italian nun, talented young she published a book of her madrigals in Venice in 1593. T'amo mia vita, her setting of a poem by Guarini, proved to be attractively motet-like and indicative of a composer definitely worth exploring more. Whilst Schütz is certainly better known than Aleotti, we certainly don't hear anything like enough of his music in concert programmes, and it was a welcome treat to come across his Selig sind die Toten. Probably performed on a rather different scale than the composer intended, however the motet benefited from the attentive choristers' lithe sound and sense of drama. JAC Redford is an American composer working in both film, TV and concert music. His motet, Let beauty be our memorial sets his own words and combined a real tune with an effective arrangement and a contemporary American classical sound to create something rather lovely.
