Concert Review: Pianist Daniil Trifonov and Baritone Matthias Goerne Perform Schubert’s “Swan Songs”
For those who love Schubert, this was a memorable occasion indeed.
Rockport Chamber Music Festival is in the midst of a stellar season. Saturday evening, the brilliant pianist (and writer) Jonathan Biss gave a sensational recital of two late Schubert sonatas—a music lover’s dream.
Heard live, pianist Evgeny Kissin offers the kind of rare, heart-altering listening experiences that give one hope for our woefully fractured world.
Pavel Kolesnikov and Samson Tsoy’s debut CD is breathtaking, released a few months after the pair’s acclaimed performance at Carnegie Hall earlier this year.
Part of the pleasure of reviewing Skylark’s performances is to spread the word: this vocal ensemble is nothing short of amazing.
This is an album that I recommend heartily to anyone who enjoys exquisite music making, stunning booklet artwork, and serious scholarship.
It is always a thrill to be in the audience when the legendary American soprano Renée Fleming performs.
It was worth driving over 70 miles of snowy roads to be rewarded with such invigorating heat. Bravo tutti.
The pianist provided a 150-minute long procession of anecdotes, thoughts, and absolutely first-class playing for his adoring, thoroughly attentive audience, who happily bought tickets to hear whatever Sir András Schiff chose to play.
I immediately heard how adept these players were — and how brilliantly they played together.
