Anne-Sophie Mutter

Concert Preview/Interview: Anne-Sophie Mutter Plays John Williams’s Violin Concerto no. 2

Concert Review: John Williams’s Violin Concerto no. 2 at Tanglewood

On first impression, John Williams’ second violin concerto didn’t strike me as an instant classic, but there’s more than a little here to warrant repeated listening.

Classical CD Reviews: Beethoven Concerti – Mutter, Ma, and Barenboim play the Triple Concerto, Martha Argerich plays the Piano Concerto no. 2, and Krystian Bezuidenhout plays the Piano Concerto no. 4

Classical CD Reviews: All-star Schubert and Mozart Arias

A hell-for-leather approach to Schubert has its drawbacks; for all the sheen of Juan Diego Flórez’s singing, he doesn’t always seem at home in the music.

Concert Review: Tchaikovsky, Takemitsu, and Shostakovich at Symphony Hall

Concert Review: Tanglewood’s 75th Birthday Shindig — Boston Symphony Orchestra, Tanglewood Festival Chorus and Guests

After several years of frustrating cancellations and artistic challenges, Tanglewood and the Boston Symphony Orchestra seemed to be saying that there’s still much to celebrate. And they were right.
