Benjamin-Zander

Classical Concert Review: Boston Philharmonic Orchestra plays Bruckner’s Symphony No. 8

This was an epic performance of an epic piece, steeped in Brucknerian character.

By: Jonathan Blumhofer Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music, Review Tagged: Anton Bruckner, Benjamin-Zander, Boston Philharmonic Orchestra

Classical Music Preview: Catching Up and Looking Ahead with Benjamin Zander on the BPO/BPYO Season

For Benjamin Zander and his musicians – as for all of us – it was a strange, even desperate, several months.

Concert Review: Lucas Debargue and the Boston Philharmonic at Sanders Theatre

A pianist of real character and refinement – plus a huge career in Europe – Lucas Debargue was on hand to lend his musicianship to a relatively rare outing of Franz Liszt’s Piano Concerto no. 2.

Concert Review: Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra at Symphony Hall

The Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra’s first appearance of the season presented canonical selections without a hint of complacency or apathy.

Concert Review: Boston Philharmonic plays Beethoven and Rachmaninoff

Violinist Liza Ferschtman and the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra’s account of Beethoven’s Violin Concerto lacked nothing for momentum and spirit.

Concert Review: Boston Philharmonic plays Mozart, Brahms, and Bartók

There was nothing sleepy or commonplace about the ensemble’s performance of favorites by Mozart, Brahms, and Bartók.

Arts Commentary: Some Thoughts on the Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra’s 2019 Brazilian Tour

Suffice it to say, the tour was an extraordinary experience, musically and culturally, and, for me, a conspicuously potent introduction to a new continent.

By: Jonathan Blumhofer Filed Under: Classical Music, Commentary, Featured Tagged: Benjamin-Zander, Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, Brazil!

Classical Music Review: The Boston Philharmonic Youth Orchestra in Brazil, Part One

The BPYO’s repertoire in Brazil is drawn from last year’s programs and is built around Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto no. 2.

Concert Music Review: The Boston Philharmonic plays Ives and Mahler

This performance of Ives’ Third was the most welcome entry in the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra’s celebratory season – a beautifully considered, powerfully rendered account of this too-neglected score.

By: Jonathan Blumhofer Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music, Review Tagged: Benjamin-Zander, Boston Philharmonic Orchestra

Classical CD Reviews: François-Xavier Roth conducts Mahler 3 and Benjamin Zander conducts Mahler 9

Benjamin Zander conducts a conspicuously fine Mahler Nine; François-Xavier Roth’s new account of Mahler’s Symphony no. 3 proffers nothing particularly special.

By: Jonathan Blumhofer Filed Under: Classical Music, Music, Review Tagged: Benjamin-Zander, Brattle Media, Francois-Xavier Roth, Harmonia Mundi
