Steven Stucky

Classical CD Reviews: Boston Modern Orchestra Project plays Steven Stucky and Johannes Moser plays Elgar

BMOP releases a fitting, moving tribute to a giant of contemporary music; Johannes Moser turns in a sweeping performance of Elgar’s Cello Concerto.

Picks for the top live classical performances of 2016. Feel free to agree, disagree, add to them, come up with your own list, etc.
