An admiring review of the latest disc from Hermitage Trio and praise for Boston Philharmonic and Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra concerts earlier this month at Symphony Hall.
The final installment in the Boston Symphony Orchestra’ s Shostakovich symphonies series is not nearly as overwhelming as its kick-off disc.
This splendid album offers ample proof that Henry Desmarest stands shoulder to shoulder with his major 17th century French contemporaries, Lully and Marin Marais.
Daniil Trifonov’s long-awaited return to Symphony Hall showed that he continues to embody the fullness of the great Russian pianistic legacy.
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.
A world-premiere recording of Kurt Weill’s “Prophets” — originally intended as the last act of “The Eternal Road” — with excellent singers, plus Thomas Hampson in Weill’s Walt Whitman Songs.

A massive, comprehensive new box set once again shows us the diva’s indomitable place in the history of opera.
The concert, which along with the Elgar Violin Concerto also includes Rossini’s William Tell Overture and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 7, promises to be a momentous occasion for the ensemble.
A concert whose music served as a prayerful elegy for a world spinning out of control.
