A time to look back
[…] festival in Lucerne, Britten's Peter Grimes in Paris, Handel's Saul at the Komische Oper Berlin, Christoph Loy's production of Zandonai's Francesca da Rimini at Deutsche Oper Berlin, Carmen at Oper im Steinbruch in Austria, the launch of the Dresden Music Festival's historically informed Ring cycle with Das Rheingold, and the Bayreuth Baroque Opera Festival. Also in Bayreuth at the Bayreuth Festival, our correspondent Tony caught Valentin Schwarz’ Ring cycle for a second time around, Klaus Florian Vogt as Tannhäuser, Jay Scheib's Augmented Reality production of Parsifal and Dmitri Tcherniakov’s production of Der fliegende Holländer. Tony was also highly impressed by the Ring Cycle presented by Sofia Opera in Bulgaria. Still in Ring mode our correspondent Florence saw English National Opera's new production of Wagner's Das Rheingold, and Regents Opera's continuation of its Ring with Die Walküre featuring the late Keel Watson as Wotan.In the UK, we were in Manchester to talk […]

BH’s Favorite Recordings of 2023
[…] one mind in finding Brawn’s playing consistently so “right”, so “of course that’s the way it should be”. That the MSR engineers capture the sound of the Steinway so well is the proverbial icing on the cake. Brahms: Double Concerto, Op 192; Viotti: Violin Concerto No. 22; Dvorak: Silent Woods, Op.68/5. Christian Tetzlaff (violin), Tanja Tetzlaff (cello), Paavo Järvi/Symphonie-Orchester Berlin. Ondine ODE 1423-2. An extraordinarily touching memorial to a lost friend, the late pianist Lars Vogt. But don’t let the “in memoriam” aspect lower your expectations: the performance of the Brahms Double Concerto is a fine one, passionate but technically sound, while the Viotti Concerto is, if not music of the first rank, well worth hearing. And if the short Dvorak piece from Silent Woods doesn’t provoke a lump in your throat, you may need an emotion transplant. Hyperion catalog on streaming services. No, this is not an individual […]

KN's Favorite Recordings of 2023
[…] hummable melodies a minus, while, others will find themselves entranced by the unique musical atmosphere evoked by Mompou’s writing and Hough’s performance, which has been captured in full, rich sound by the Hyperion engineering team. The customary top-quality liner notes and cover art that we have come to expect from Hyperion are the frosting on the cake. Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 9 in E-flat major, “Jeunehomme,” K. 271; Piano Concerto No. 24 in C minor K. 491. Lars Vogt, piano and conductor; Orchestre de Chambre de Paris. Ondine ODE 1414-2. This is one of the final recordings made by the late German pianist Lars Vogt (1970-2022). The CD booklet includes an interview with the recording producer Christophe Franke, a good friend of Vogt’s who points out that at the time Vogt recorded this album, he was already undergoing chemotherapy. “He came to Paris with noticeably less hair, with grey skin, a pale complexion. And yet, […]
