The Independant - Reviews

March 22   -  The Independant - Reviews

London Symphony Orchestra / Adams, Barbican Hall, London

The intimations of Ravel and Stravinsky in Colin Matthews' opulent orchestrations of Debussy's gusty Préludes, "The Wind in the Plain" and "What the West Wind Saw", made for a quite incestuous feel to the second of ...

Katya Kabanova, Coliseum, LondonEmanuel Ax/Dawn Upshaw, Barbican Hall, London

David Alden's English National Opera production presents Katya Kabanova as an Expressionist concentrate of silent screams and mucoid hawking. Its focus, like that of Alexander Ostrovsky's play, is the thunderstorm in ...

Album: Judith Leclair, Works For Bassoon (Avie)

Judith Leclair, principal bassoonist of the New York Philharmonic, valiantly manages in this anthology of chamber pieces to avoid the comical nasal quality that makes the bassoon a little showcased instrument.

Janacek Katya Kabanova, English National Opera, London Coliseum

English National Opera’s new staging of Janacek’s heartbreaking Katya Kabanova is cast big: big voices, big performers casting big shadows.

Mahler in Manchester: Halle / Elder, Bridgewater Hall, Manchester

With the Fifth Symphony came the midpoint in the Mahler in Manchester series, an invaluable enterprise between the BBC Philharmonic, the Hallé and Manchester Camerata.

Tamerlano, Royal Opera House, LondonDon Pasquale, Sadler's Wells, LondonScoring a Century, Crescent Theatre, BirminghamSongs of a Wayfarer, Royal Festival Hall, London
