Korngold and Dvořák Close Palm Beach Symphony Season

Paul du Quenoy June 7, 2022

It is hard to imagine a more complex piece than Korngold’s Violin Concerto. It stands on the cusp of classical music’s transformation from an art form confined to the concert hall, into a multimedia concept.

The Leopard Finally Gets an Operatic Adaptation

Paul du Quenoy May 1, 2022

American composer Michael Dellaira secured the operatic rights to Lampedusa’s novel after rereading it following a trip to Sicily in 2014. Pandemic complications froze the entire performance world for two years, so the opera only had its world premiere in March 2022, in a run of two performances by the Frost Opera Theater.

A Disappointing Don Carlos

Paul du Quenoy April 21, 2022

Set against the production’s dismal sets, the action unfolded as a five-hour dirge of funereal hopelessness before ejecting spectators into equally gray Manhattan surroundings where after-theater conviviality is long dead.

America’s Soprano Still Sings!

Paul du Quenoy March 27, 2022

Listening to Renée Fleming in an intimate recital nearly five years after her semi-retirement, one has to wonder if she left too soon. She has upcoming April concerts in France, Germany, Lithuania, and the UK.

Paul du Quenoy February 22, 2022

Interested readers should know that, in what is billed as “the return of one of the greatest pianists of our time” spanning from Beethoven’s “Appassionata” and Chopin’s “Third Sonata,” Yefim Bronfman will perform a piano recital at the Teatro Auditorium Manzoni in Bologna on February 28, 2022.

Memorializing Mozart: “Mozart’s Final Year” at the Palm Beach Symphony

Paul du Quenoy January 15, 2022

As one of the first arts companies to return to live performance as the pandemic subsided, the Palm Beach Symphony has rocketed to national importance and richly deserves international notice.

Where Have All the Wagnerians Gone?

Paul du Quenoy January 12, 2022

The production has aged well. Its vibrant return after a seven-year absence should have been a landmark revival and one of the highlights of the Met’s new season. Musically, it met the mark. The energy on stage was palpable. The only disappointment was to be found in the audience. The revival’s first performance reportedly filled just 57% of the seats.

A Good Enough Boris

Paul du Quenoy December 29, 2021

Scheduled for only six performances (September 28-October 17, 2021), the Met chose, as a cost-cutting measure, to present Mussorgsky’s original seven-scene 1869 version of the opera. European houses and scholarly purists favor this original score, which is currently found in repertoires in London, Paris, Berlin, and St. Petersburg.
