Review
A testament to the power of benignant narcissism.
We have a recording of “Déjanire,” its first ever. And it’s splendid, with a superb cast, an insightful conductor, and the orchestra and chorus of the very city in which it was first performed a century earlier!
“Cuckoo” bridges the experiences of cis and trans women together with overlapping concerns about how our bodily autonomy is increasingly controlled by patriarchal forces.
“Unterstadt” is valuable, and not only because it memorably excavates a repressed episode in Croatian history. The novel also has considerable relevance, given the savagery besieging the innocent in today’s conflagrations.
This collection of essays, excerpts, letters, and a few poems is a powerful and necessary tool for educating anyone willing to learn about — and confront — the injustice and hypocrisy of our country’s monstrous system of incarceration.
The art monster is messy, ambitious, and narcissistic but couldn’t care less about what you think. Are you frightened?
Conductor Christopher Wilkins and Boston Landmarks Orchestra routinely present serious, challenging programs: but there is always room left for some partying.
Each of these four projects requires deep attention from a listener. Only two of them repay that attention with the musical rewards that bring a listener (this listener, at least) back for rehearings.
Multi-instrumentalist Andrew Lamb, with his spiritual imperative, is clearly seeking, and achieving, incantatory power.
