Philadelphia Orchestra

Classical CD Reviews: Semyon Bychkov conducts Franz Schmidt and Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts Mendelssohn Symphonies

Conductor Yannick Nézet-Séguin does dazzlingly right by the symphonies of Mendelssohn.

By: Jonathan Blumhofer Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music, Review Tagged: Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Deutsche Grammophon, Franz Schmidt. Sony Classical, Philadelphia Orchestra, Semyon Bychkov, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, Yannick Nézet-Séguin

Album Reviews: Danill Trifonov plays Rachmaninov and Michael Lewin plays Debussy

Michael Lewin’s new album must surely rank among the most poetic and sensitive Debussy recordings of recent memory.

By: Jonathan Blumhofer Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music, Review Tagged: Danill Trifonov, Debussy, Deutsche Grammophon, Michael Lewin, Philadelphia Orchestra, Sergei Rachmaninov, Sono Luminus, Starry Night, Yannick Nézet-Séguin

Classical Music CD Reviews: Lang Lang plays Prokofiev and Bartók (Sony Classical), Philadelphia Orchestra plays Stravinsky (Deutsche Grammophon)

So we’ve got a mixed bag. If you get this Lang Lang disc, it should be for the Bartók, but not the Prokofiev: as things stand, the competition there simply blows Lang out of the water.
