Walt Disney Concert Hall, Los AngelesPhoto by Lisa HirschThe Los Angeles Philharmonic has performances of Wagner's Das Rheingold later this month, and gosh, the cast looks great. (Which of these singers will be in the next San Francisco Opera Ring bring-up? Place your bets now.) There was a point when I would have said "this is in advance of a Paris Opera Ring, but we can't know whether any future Paris Ring productions will be conducted by Dudamel, who is no longer the music director there.)I can't get there, but presumably others can.

A group of highly competent musicians put together a traditional program to celebrate the holiday season; and one could argue a lot of good will was in the air as a near-capacity audience listened to great music, or got reminded what the Messiah was about by Handel's masterpiece.Having said that, there are some aspects of this performance I wanted to record for future reference.One can start with the conductor, who evidently is also a concert violinist. The best way to describe the result of Biondi's direction is Handel was brought forward by 100 years, to the romantic period. […]
