Christine Schäfer, Subpar but Great in Salzburg
SALZBURG, Austria — It is a privilege to sing a voice recital at the Salzburg Festival — particularly a recital of German art song. Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau did it, a lot. And, last week, Christine Schäfer, the German soprano, did it. She certainly deserves the privilege. Her program was a Schwarzkopfian one: Bach, Mahler, and Wolf. And she began with five songs of ...

DVD Review: Pete Seeger: The Power of Song
A tribute film to the architect of the "folk revival," a man whose life has been dedicated to using music to better the world. Like many in my generation, I grew up listening to folk legends like Peter, Paul and Mary, Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, Arlo Guthrie, and Tom Paxton; Phil Ochs, Joan Baez, and Judy Collins. The Kingston Trio, the New Lost City Ramblers, and The Weavers played constantly on ...

Prom 40: BBC SO & Chorus / Boulez, Royal Albert Hall, London
There was some surprise when it was learnt that Pierre Boulez, a conductor of immaculate precision, had taken to performing that sometimes rough diamond Leos Janacek. But with his recent readings of Janacek's last opera, From the House of the Dead, having drawn rave reviews, one approached this Prom of his music from 1926 (well into the Czech composer's prodigious old age) with real ...

Prom 46: LSO / Gergiev, Royal Albert Hall, London
The popular misconception of Tchaikovsky as a composer of splashy orchestra showpieces is hard to shake. Valery Gergiev seemed at pains to put this to rights and celebrate the fastidious craftsman in his complete performance of the composer's most "classical" ballet, The Sleeping Beauty. Such an event is a rarity in concert hall or theatre – at best we probably hear only about 80 per cent of ...

Joe, Adam and the Ant-man
We are at the Summer Sundae festival in rainy Leicester, and two DJs are packed within the walls of a tiny mobile studio resembling a cross between a caravan and a space ship to talk their way through three hours of broadcast time. They sound remarkably similar, finish each others’s sentences, and are the most criminally-underrated talent on British radio.
