Boston Early Music Festival

Classical Music Review: At BEMF, Benjamin Bagby and Sequentia Seduce with Charms and Riddles

Thanks to BEMF for once again presenting Benjamin Bagby, who seems incapable of serving up anything but a wonderfully memorable experience.

This entertaining opera is a real soap opera, given that it chronicles the fallout of the passionate protagonist’s unrequited love.

The Tallis Scholars are unquestionably today’s most renowned exponent of Renaissance sacred music.

When it comes to raising high spirits, the BEMF’s delightful Alcina was an inspired choice.

Chock-full of truly delightful music, the production scores as yet another BEMF opera triumph.

Boston Early Music Festival tossed a bang-up evening of performances on Monday night.

The stellar BEMF team whips up a holiday confection that’s worth catching year after year.

The extremely prolific viol virtuoso Jordi Savall clearly has deep feelings about Celtic music.

The music was so extraordinarily pleasant and well performed that the two-hour production breezed by.

After experiencing, in seven days, Monteverdi’s three extant operas and his Vespers of 1610, I am in awe of BEMF and everyone associated with it.
