Barbara Hannigan

Year-end CD Round-up, Part 1: Rosanne Philippens’ Prokofiev, Dover Quartet’s “Voices of Defiance,” Longleash’s “Passage,” Michael Gielen Edition Vol. 4, and Barbara Hannigan’s “Crazy Girl Crazy”

Reviews of performances that are energetic, immediate, muscular, and simply breathtaking.

Picks for the top live classical performances of 2016. Feel free to agree, disagree, add to them, come up with your own list, etc.

Everyone on stage seemed to sense that this was a special occasion and the BSO, accordingly, played with an extra jolt of electricity.
