Charles Dutoit

Concert Review: The BSO Presents an Evening of Benevolent Kindred Spirits

After all these many decades I am still deeply moved by Yo-Yo Ma’s playing, which combines irresistible charisma and generosity of spirit.

By: Susan Miron Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music, Review Tagged: Boston Symphony Orchestra, Charles Dutoit, Yo-Yo Ma

Concert Review: Charles Dutoit conducts Ravel and Javier Perianes plays Manuel de Falla

Javier Perianes proved himself one of the elite pianists of our day, playing with such deep, inward focus.

Concert Review: Charles Dutoit and the Boston Symphony Orchestra Triumph with “King Roger”

The BSO’s captivating performances of King Roger received unanimous rave reviews from the local press, to which I add mine.

Concert Review: Violinist Julia Fischer and the Boston Symphony Orchestra

Julia Fischer’s account of Brahms’s Violin Concerto with the Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO) this weekend was nothing if not dynamic and impressive.

Classical Concert Review: Conductor Charles Dutoit and the Boston Symphony Orchestra Perform Mozart and Mahler

Conductor Charles Dutoit seems to have little affinity for Mahler’s distinctive style.

Classical Concert Review: The Boston Symphony Orchestra — A Searing Rendition of Benjamin Britten’s “War Requiem”

In sum, this was one of those rare concerts in which everything clicked, musically and dramatically.

By: Jonathan Blumhofer Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music Tagged: Benjamin Britten, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Charles Dutoit, Tanglewood Festival Chorus, War Requiem

Fuse Concert Review: Charles Dutoit conducts Ravel, Penderecki, and Elgar

Charles Dutoit, one of the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s favorite guest conductors, drew playing of high energy and vivid color.

By: Jonathan Blumhofer Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music, Review Tagged: Boston Symphony Orchestra, Charles Dutoit, Penderecki

Fuse Concert Review: Stravinsky and Ravel Operas by the Boston Symphony Orchestra/Charles Dutoit

That Symphony Hall was probably a third empty is inexplicable, but, if you missed any of these concerts, it’s truly your loss. These were among the BSO’s benchmark performances of the last decade.

By: Jonathan Blumhofer Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music Tagged: Boston Symphony Orchestra, Charles Dutoit, Tanglewood Festival Chorus

Classical Music Sampler: July 2012

The Boston Symphony Orchestra’s (BSO) residency at Tanglewood begins with an all-Beethoven concert on July 6th and runs through August 26th (when it concludes with a John Harbison premiere and more Beethoven –- the Ninth).

By: Jonathan Blumhofer Filed Under: Classical Music, Coming Attractions, Featured, Music Tagged: Andris Nelsons, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Bang on a Can Festival, Charles Dutoit, Dan Zhu, Emmanuel Ax, Joshua Bell, Tanglewood Music Festival

Classical Music Review: The Berlioz Requiem Opens Tanglewood In Style

While these dramatic sections constitute the more celebrated musical attributes of Berlioz’s furious conception of Judgment Day, it is actually in the quieter, mostly contemplative sections that the writing generates a just as impressive visionary reflectiveness.
