Glowing reviews for Xian Zhang's concerts with Boston Symphony Orchestra, including:

"Zhang landed on the podium like a dynamo…her presence was commanding and magnetic…deftly shaping drastic dynamic shifts and maintaining a translucent texture throughout. It was almost impossible to not mirror Zhang’s smile, especially in the finale…I can’t wait to see what she brings to Symphony Hall next” – Boston Globe Opinion

"The leading British soprano Claire Booth, soprano talks to Ben Hogwood Arcana.fm about her duo of new albums celebrating the music of Schoenberg [...] It is no understatement to state that Claire Booth is a national singing treasure. She would be too gracious to admit this, but the British soprano has played a leading role in classical music on these shores, particularly in league with composer and conductor Oliver Knussen as a leading exponent of new compositions. Yet Booth’s pioneering spirit extends to music of the classical canon, and in 2024 she has included a special emphasis on the music of Arnold Schoenberg, 150 years on from the composer’s birth. His music remains a challenge today – but as Booth revealed in an enjoyably candid chat, it is a challenge well worth accepting for the performer and ultimately the listener."

The first subscription concert of the season at the Palau de la Música with the Orquestra de València will not be just another night for the conductor who will direct the evening. Alexander Liebreich shares a more personal connection. In particular, Pavel Haas's Etude for String Orchestra, which will open the concert, was written in the Theresienstadt concentration camp: "My great-grandmother, Bertha Liebreich, was deported to Theresienstadt and then to Treblinka, where she died in a gas chamber. Haas also died in a gas chamber in Auschwitz. [...] The evening will culminate with Richard Strauss' monumental Eine Alpensinfonie [...] Liebreich, who is also president of the Richard Strauss Society, reflects how this work "is very delicate and intimate, perhaps more so than any other, because it is not heroic. It is a very spiritual work about nature and comes from where I come from, Bavaria..."

Fleur Barron, Mezzo Soprano and Axelle Fanyo first worked together in autumn 2022 in Paris, but it was with Adriana Mater the following year that the bond seems to have truly solidified. The opera made its debut in 2006 at Opéra national de Paris, directed by Peter Sellers and conducted by Esa-Pekka Salonen, a longtime friend and collaborator to the composer; the director and conductor would eventually reunite for a semi-staged presentation with the San Francisco Symphony. But this 2023 presentation, was different [...] Kaija Saariaho was seriously ill during rehearsals, and passed away at her home in Paris on June 2nd. The loss was magnified by the proximity of her family and closest friends in San Francisco – Saariaho’s daughter Aliisa Neige Barrière was assistant conductor for the production – and the cast, which also included Nicholas Phan and Christopher Purves, became thusly imbued with a deep sense of responsibility toward the material. Barron and Fanyo, hardly strangers to demanding work, recalled the unique challenges of the situation [...] The pair are set to reprise their roles in Teatro dell'Opera di Roma’s presentation of Adriana Mater in 2025.

Mezzo Fleur Barron and soprano Axelle Fanyo share their thoughts on friendship and their experience singing the music of Saariaho with Esa-Pekka Salonen.

"Let's say it right away, "a first attempt, and a masterstroke", as the show was convincing in all its dimensions, both scenic, musical and vocal. For the stage part, Opéra de Lausanne went to the brilliant Italian theatre man (based in London) Bruno Ravella (whose Polifemo by Porpora had delighted us last February in Strasbourg Opéra national du Rhin) who offers here a work as simple as it is effective. Because it is indeed the card of readability and simplicity (which also goes in the direction of eco-responsibility, since it is one of the challenges of our time...), and Act I is summed up for example in a canvas painted alla Ferdinand Holder (the Italian admits his admiration for the Swiss painter in his notes of intent) which quite simply represents... a Swiss mountain landscape. In fact, we are very far from the decorative (over)load that is customary in the work (and which can be completely avoided…), and Ravella's approach aims to focus on the essential. His Switzerland, made up of a few simple images, with no other decorative elements than a wooden pontoon here and a few rustic seats here, restores on the one hand the magical setting of the action, but also the austerity of a people who, fifteen years before the advent of Verdi, proclaimed their desire for revolt. The director thus manages, with great skill, to make Rossini's work even more grandiose through the greatest simplicity. Because the music, thus freed from all ornament, speaks a more immediate, more frank, and more direct language." https://www.classiquenews.com/critique-opera-lausanne-opera-de-lausanne-du-6-au-15-octobre-2024-rossini-guillaume-tell-j-s-bou-o-kulchynska-j-dran-bruno-ravella-francesco-lanzillotta/
