Simone Dinnerstein

Classical Album Review: Richard Danielpour’s “An American Mosaic” — A Potent Reminder of Shared Humanity

An American Mosaic is a fascinating study of how a contemporary composer can fuse the gestures and syntax of a tradition rooted in Bach with contemporary sensibilities.

By: Jonathan Blumhofer Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music, Review Tagged: An American Mosaic, Richard Danielpour, Simone Dinnerstein, Supertrain Records

Classical CD Reviews: Anna Clyne’s “Mythologies,” Simone Dinnerstein’s “A Character of Quiet,” and Hélène Grimaud’s “The Messenger”

Composer Anna Clyne’s new disc displays her maturity as a composer and brilliance as an orchestrator; pianist Simone Dinnerstein builds a number of bridges between Philip Glass and Franz Schubert; pianist Hélène Grimaud’s interesting program is marred by some uneven Mozart.

Classical CD Review: Simone Dinnerstein plays Bach and Glass and James Brawn’s Beethoven Odyssey vol. 5

Two recommended discs: James Brawn’s complete Beethoven piano sonata series continues while Simone Dinnerstein and A Far Cry execute Philip Glass’s chorale-like writing with remarkable fervency and warmth.

Dance Review: “New Work for Goldberg Variations” — Probing the Infinite

One fascinating aspect of this collaboration is that the dance and music harmonize but don’t mimic each other.

Classical CD Reviews: Emerson Quartet plays Purcell and Britten and Mozart in Havana

The Emerson Quartet is as restless and curious as ever; pianist Simone Dinnerstein is featured on a treasure of a disc.

Classical CD Reviews: Simone Dinnerstein plays Ravel, Lasser, and Gershwin

Pianist Simone Dinnerstein’s new album, Broadway-Lafayette, features her on three pieces, all written since 1924, that celebrate musical ties between France and the United States.

Music Commentary: Notable Classical Performances of 2014

It’s fun to recall what’s been played locally since January and be reminded just how rich the greater Boston area’s classical music scene really is.
