‘Magic Flute’ tops a rewarding final music festival week (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On an especially rewarding weekend, which included a first-rate Beethoven Ninth and a stellar recital by a beloved pianist, it was the opera that made the biggest impression. “The Magic Flute” scored an unalloyed triumph on Friday. Everything worked in a smart production that turned all the possible negatives of doing it in the 2,100-seat music tent into plusses. Director Paula Suozzi (executive stage director at the Metropolitan Opera) turned the inherent limitations of putting singers and orch

Voices have been more present in this summer’s Aspen Music Festival than any I can recall. As an opera lover, I cheer, although some longtime attendees are not so happy with this direction. With opera royalty like Renée Fleming and Patrick Summers running Aspen Opera Theater and VocalARTS, the festival has been able to recruit high-level professionals and young singers. As the festival always goes for the biggest splash for the final Sunday, it almost always involves a choral extravaganza. This
Festival Review: Hurrahs for conductors (opens the original)

Editor’s note: This article has been updated to reflect that Dinnerstein paired Bach’s “E-major Concerto” alongside Glass’ “Concerto No. 1” in Harris Concert Hall.

With few exceptions, conducting has been a strong factor

The Percussion Ensemble’s annual recital on Monday focuses on rarely heard Western-adapted examples of gamelan music. A gamelan is an ensemble of Indonesian mallet instruments and the music they produce. Said music uses richness of tone and complexity of rhythms rather than incessant banging and clanging (which we percussion-heads also love). I asked Percussion Ensemble Director Jonathan Haas, usually seen on timpani with the Aspen Chamber Orchestra, to let me hear the unique instruments to be u
Festival Review: Shahamâs Beethoven pays off big-time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Violinist Gil Shaham and pianist Akira Eguchi began their odyssey through all 10 of Beethoven’s violin sonatas on Thursday evening pleasantly enough, with sprightly renderings of the first, second and third. After intermission came an explosion. No. 9 (the “Kreutzer”) took off like a rocket, darting this way and that with all of Beethoven’s sudden changes in tempo and dynamics, developing into a miraculously unified performance that celebrated every turn, every nuance, every panoply of expressi
