The Celebrity Series of Boston

Concert Review: Steven Osborne and Paul Lewis — A Very French Duo Piano Recital

It was as if the pianists were performing in a small drawing room for a few friends, not at Jordan Hall.

By: Susan Miron Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music, Review Tagged: Paul Lewis, Steven Osborne, The Celebrity Series of Boston

Classical Music Review: San Francisco Symphony at Symphony Hall

While the orchestra’s program was almost defiantly canonical, it was played with such lightness and energy that you could forgive its disappointing safeness.

By: Jonathan Blumhofer Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music, Review Tagged: Michael Tilson Thomas, San Francisco Symphony, The Celebrity Series of Boston

Concert Review: Pianists Daniil Trifonov and Sergei Babayan

Their combined sound, made by two nested pianos, their lids off, aided and abetted by Jordan Hall’s superb acoustics, was irresistible.

Fuse Concert Review: Cellist Yo-Yo Ma Delivers a Magical Evening

Heralded cellist Yo-Yo Ma has played with several distinguished pianists over the years, but none (are) better than Kathryn Stott.

By: Susan Miron Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music Tagged: Kathryn Stott, Symphony Hall, The Celebrity Series of Boston, Yo-Yo Ma

Fuse Jazz Review: The Vijay Iyer Trio and Poet Robert Pinsky Create POEMJAZZ

The first part of the evening worked: Robert Pinsky was a good enough actor, his poetry was sufficiently transparent, and Vijay Iyer proved to be a brilliant accompanist.

By: Michael Ullman Filed Under: Featured, Jazz, Music Tagged: Robert Pinsky, The Celebrity Series of Boston, Vijay Iyer Trio, Vijay Iyler

Music Review: French Soprano Natalie Dessay — She Leaves Listeners Walking on Air

The teamwork and chemistry of soprano Natalie Dessay and pianist Philippe Cassard were terrific, each performer delivering the music with great expressiveness and intelligence.
