| With the Metropolitan Museum of Art not far from the Metropolitan Opera House, this production exudes authenticity. One thing to watch for: does the high priest have a beard or not? He is the first person to sing onstage, and he should NOT have a beard. Egyptians could not grow beards, but the king wore a fake beard as a sign of power--even the female pharaoh Hatshepsut wore a beard! Unfortunately it has become cliché for the high priest to have a beard, and I give high points to the stages ... Read More: |

| I have only one complaint, and it might be a little nontraditional: the first movement of the symphony...I'd swear I've heard it in a war movie or the like...some sad scene on a battlefield strewn with soldiers' bodies and drifting smoke. For some reason, thinking this takes something away from the piece for me. Stupid, I know. But once you're past the first movement, it is stunning. And of course, w/o the Hollywood images rolling through my head, the first movement would be stunning as well. |

| Again, breaking my rule against reviewing CDs, for music that is truly exceptional. This is the CD that I play most often, outstripping #2 (Verdi's "Don Carlos", if you must know) by a factor of three to one. Lauridsen has been compared to influences ranging from Brahms to Arvo Pärt - he is surely the preeminent American composer of choral music working today.
All of the works featured on this CD: "lux Aterna", "Chansons des Roses", and "Mid-Winter Songs" are ethereally beautiful. Personally, ... Read More: |

| On the second day of the year 2007, Valery Gergiev conducted another outstanding ballet program at the Mariinsky Theater in Saint Petersburg. Mihail Chemiakin's 2001 production, with glorious sets and costumes reminiscent of Sendak, brings the action closer in plot and feeling to the original 1816 tale "Knussknacker und Mausekoenig" by ETA Hoffmann. The old chestnut comes to life again, with some new choreography by Kirili Simonov.
Fortunately the video producer, Denis Caiozzi, does not hate ballet ... Read More: |

| To my great surprise, in the last two decades of his life Solti turned into a marvelous Mozart interpreter. His '80's Figaro, and '90's Magic Flute and Cosi fan Tutte are among my favorite versions, Sir Georg's sometimes abrasive nervous energy (and scholarly use of reduced orchestral forces) makes for fantastically dramatic, anti-romantic readings. This requiem, recorded on the 200th anniversary of Mozart's death in St Stephen's cathedral in Vienna benefits from an awesome reverberant acoustic, a quartet of fabluous operatic singers ...
