Handel & Haydn Society

Performing Arts Series: Stories of Surviving COVID-19 — Handel & Haydn Society

“We are in a time that challenges each of us running arts organizations to revisit and reaffirm our institution’s core existential purpose: why are we here? What do we do, and why does it matter?”

By: Bill Marx Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music Tagged: David Snead, Handel & Haydn Society, Joe Chambers

Classical CD Reviews: Ernst von Dohnányi Orchestral Works, Handel & Haydn Society plays Haydn, and Eric Coates Orchestral Works

A noteworthy recording of Ernst von Dohnányi’s Symphony no. 1; as usual, Harry Christophers and the Handel & Haydn Society play Haydn with their customary elegance and character; a celebration of British composer Eric Coates – his music’s impossibly fresh tunefulness, striking progressions, and vividly idiomatic orchestrations.

By: Jonathan Blumhofer Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music, Review Tagged: BBC Philharmonic, Chandos, Coro, CPO, Eric Coates, Ernst von Dohnányi, Handel & Haydn Society, John Wilson, Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz

Opera Review: “Dido and Aeneas” — A Memorable Evening of Purcell

Handel and Haydn Society assembled both a must-hear program and an extraordinary cast of singers.

By: Susan Miron Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music, Opera Tagged: Handel & Haydn Society, Harry Christophers, Henry-Purcell, Susan Miron

Classical Music CD Reviews: H&H’s Haydn & Mozart, Vaughan Williams’ Sea Symphony, and Berlioz’s Roméo et Juliette

Handel & Haydn Society’s Haydn and Mozart is about as good as it gets; Martyn Brabbins’ recording of A Sea Symphony is one of the year’s best releases; and for elegance and technical command, you can’t go wrong with Tilson Thomas and his San Francisco Symphony.

By: Jonathan Blumhofer Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music, Review Tagged: BBC Symphony, Berlioz Roméo et Juliette, Coro, Handel & Haydn, Handel & Haydn Society, Hyperion, Martyn Brabbins, Michael Tilson Thomas, SFS Media, Vaughan Williams Sea Symphony

Concert Review: Handel & Haydn’s “The Messiah”

I was excited, moved, impressed, and surprised by Handel & Haydn Society’s performance of The Messiah under the exacting baton of Bernard Labadie.

By: Helen Epstein Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Review Tagged: Bernard Labadie, Handel & Haydn Society, The Messiah

Music Commentary: 2018-19 Boston Classical Music Fall Season Preview (Orchestras, Opera, and New Music, mainly)

There’s so much going on in the area that’s good that it’s a challenge to go wrong.

By: Jonathan Blumhofer Filed Under: Classical Music, Commentary, Featured, Music Tagged: Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, Boston Symphony Orchestra, Boston-Lyric-Opera, Emmanuel Music, Handel & Haydn Society, New-England-Philharmonic, Odyssey Opera

Concert Review: Handel & Haydn Society Plays Purcell’s “The Fairy Queen”

A thoroughly charismatic Fairy Queen from start to finish, well-prepared, fulgently delivered, and received by a packed house with well-earned warmth.

By: Jonathan Blumhofer Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music, Opera, Review Tagged: Handel & Haydn Society, Harry Christophers, Henry-Purcell, Opera, The Fairy Queen

Classical CD Review: Vänskä’s Mahler Six, Harding’s Mahler Nine, Louise Farrenc Symphonies, Handel & Haydn Society plays Haydn and Mozart

Two Mahler symphonies, one sluggish the other intense, while symphonies composed by Louise Farrenc, Mozart, and Haydn are done right.

By: Jonathan Blumhofer Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music, Review Tagged: Bis, Coro, Daniel Harding, Handel & Haydn Society, Harmonia Mundi, Haydn and Mozart, Louise Farrenc Symphonies, Mahler Nine, Mahler Six, Naxos, Osmo Vänskä

Fuse Concert Review: Mozart and Beethoven from the Handel & Haydn Society

Working within the forms perfected by Haydn and Mozart, Beethoven early compositions managed to say some things that remain compelling to hear.

By: Jonathan Blumhofer Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music, Review Tagged: Beethoven, Handel & Haydn Society, Mozart, The String Trio in C minor
