The Celebrity Series of Boston

Concert Review: A Memorable “Winterreise” From Gerald Finley and Julius Drake

Those of us who have heard Gerald Finley and Julius Drake knew what we were in for – truly beautiful singing throughout every range, and brilliantly expressive piano story-telling.

Concert Review: András Schiff’s Remarkable Piano Odyssey

No pianist in his right mind is going to repeat this program. András Schiff had privileged us with a gift that only he could give.

Concert Review: Pianist Yuja Wang — A Fearless Performer But Problematic Fashionista

Two days after pianist Yuja Wang’s concert, and, sadly, what I remember best are the two skimpy dresses she wore.

Fuse News Review: Terry Gross’s Thrice-Told Tales

What has NPR’s Terry Gross learned after all these years of probing famous people’s psyches? “We are all mortal. Life is short, and for some life is full of pain.”

Jazz Concert Review: The Charles Lloyd New Quartet — Of Sound and Silence

It turns out that it was more than just a rumor that saxophonist Charles Lloyd spent some of the ’70s playing with The Beach Boys.

Concert Review: Pianist Jeremy Denk — Probing Intelligence and Wit

Pianist Jeremy Denk wields a large artillery of dynamics and colors and it served him well in this performance.

Concert Review: Renée Fleming and Susan Graham at Symphony Hall

In an effort to give the proceedings an intimate, salon feel, the Symphony Hall stage was dotted with a couple of potted plants, three armchairs, and a pair of music stands; the cavernous environ of the space was still very much present, but one appreciated the effort to minimize it, even if only partially successful.

Visual Arts Review: Cartoonist Roz Chast Reveals Her “Theories of Everything”

For those who missed this evening, pick up Roz Chast’s “Theories of Everything,” which is a wonderfully huge collection of her cartoons published in “The New Yorker.”

Fuse Concert Review: The Emerson String Quartet — A Note of Sadness

The Emerson String Quartet gave its all – beauty, power, fire – in Johannes Brahms’s String Quartet in A minor, Opus 51, no. 2.

By: Susan Miron Filed Under: Classical Music, Featured, Music Tagged: David Finckel, The Celebrity Series of Boston, the Emerson String Quartet, Wu Han

Fuse Jazz Review: The Dean of Latin Jazz Comes to Boston

Chucho Valdés moved almost seamlessly from African-Cuban rhythms and chants in Yoruba or Spanish to a hip modern jazz style. The latter, paradoxically, owes much to the brilliant runs and glissandi of Art Tatum, the bluesiness of Horace Silver, and the power of the left hand chords of McCoy Tyner.

By: Michael Ullman Filed Under: Featured, Jazz, Music Tagged: Berklee Performance Center, Chucho Valdés, Chucho Valdes Quintet, The Celebrity Series of Boston
