Recent New Releases (CD mini-reviews)
By Karl W. NehringHilary Hahn: ParisChausson: Poème; Prokofiev: Concerto for Violin and Orchestra No. 1; Rautavaara: Deux Sérénades. Hilary Hahn, violin; Mikko Franck, Orchestre Philharmonique de Radio France. Deutsche Grammophon 483 9847.This new release from the talented American violinist Hilary Hahn is a delight from start to finish.

Set in a huge, bare industrial space Vick's production was deliberately immersive with the locally recruited chorus, team of actors and dancers all mingling with the audience. Inevitably you missed something of the visceral, immersive nature of the production. With no decorative period setting, this was a bleak and direct production with intense performances from the principals, raising disturbing questions as to why we do not see […]
