Beth Taylor: The Deeps Have Music album review – seamless legato and a gift for storytelling - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Scottish mezzo-soprano Beth Taylor was a standout in the finals of the 2023 BBC Cardiff Singer of the World and has since become something of a go-to in Handel. Her debut solo album, smartly curated with pianist Hamish Brown, brings together a satisfyingly salty programme of art song, culminating in an intrepid account of Elgar’s Sea Pictures. Taylor’s is an instantly identifiable instrument. At its ruby-red bottom she has the breadth of a true contralto, yet there’s an upper extension that bran
Paraorchestra; Sinfonietta/Jonny Greenwood review – Reich’s kaleidoscopic music bursts into life - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two birthdays were celebrated at Southbank Centre’s Steve Reich-fest. First, the composer himself, a supremely influential artist who has shifted the classical music dial over decades with his evolving yet instantly recognisable soundworld. He turns 90 on 3 October. And then there was Music for 18 Musicians, one of his signature works, which notches up a half-century this year. An immersive performance of the latter invited the audience to mingle with an ensemble dotted around the Clore Ballroom
Honegger: Jeanne d’Arc au Bûcher album review – faultless recording of an eclectic masterpiece - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Honegger’s Jeanne d’Arc au Bûcher is a neglected masterpiece. Composed in 1935 to a text by Paul Claudel, it reviews the French saint’s life in flashback as she awaits execution. Eleven episodes explore her physical and mental trials, with actors playing Jeanne and her confidant Frère Dominique alongside a cast of solo singers and full chorus. Honegger’s score blends medieval modes and folk melody with Stravinskian neoclassicism and jazz, while his eclectic orchestration includes three saxophone
Himari: Debut album review – teenage prodigy’s playing has depth and feeling - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When 13-year-old Himari Yoshimura took to the stage with the Berlin Philharmonic in March 2025, she became the youngest Asian soloist to appear with the orchestra in a subscription concert. A subsequent contract with Decca made her the label’s youngest-ever female signing. Her debut album features that Berlin performance of Wieniawski’s Violin Concerto No 1, alongside studio recordings of music by Chopin, Godowsky and Sibelius. What is immediately apparent is the technical security of her playin
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at 80 review – birthday celebration champions bold creativity - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The year 1946 had its moments. The UN held its first meeting, Winston Churchill delivered his “iron curtain” speech and in London Sir Thomas Beecham founded the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. Over 80 years, few ensembles have been as inventive or chameleonlike, embracing everything from film soundtracks such as The Bridge on the River Kwai to pumped-up rock anthems in Hooked on Classics. This birthday celebration may have looked a little safe on paper, but each work represented a creative leap fo
