Helvi Leiviskӓ: Orchestral Works, Vol. 1 (CD Review)
by Ryan RossSinfonia brevis, Op. 30; Orchestral Suite No. 2, Op. 11; Symphony No. 2, Op. 27. Dalia Stasevska, conductor; Lahti Symphony Orchestra (Sinfonia Lahti). BIS-2701 I wish performers and critics would spend more time promoting music like Helvi Leiviskä’s. True, it comes off as fairly conservative and will not titillate too many elite tastes. If her style occupies a middle ground between Romanticism and Modernism (traditionally defined), it nonetheless favors the former. Somewhat unfairly, Finnish classical music after Sibelius often gets measured by his example – a ridiculously steep benchmark against which Leiviskä acquits herself very respectably. But to anyone for whom these things aren’t the kiss of death, much joyful discovery awaits. What we have here are gorgeous, sumptuously scored orchestral works that deserve exposure. Dalia Stasevska and the Lahti Symphony Orchestra make a good case for them with a recording that goes firmly into the “recommended” category. The most immediately appealing music […]

Dalia Stasevska at SFS
Dalia StasevskaPhoto by Veikko Kähkönen, courtesy of San Francisco SymphonyDalia Stasevska took over last week's SFS program, one of two that Michael Tilson withdrew from. (Esa-Pekka Salonen conducts the other, which is in a couple of weeks.) I was extremely enthusiastic about her, and like pianist Seong-Jin Cho a lot. Reviews:Joshua Kosman, SF Chronicle. Total agreement about looking forward to hearing how many strings she has in her bow. Lisa Hirsch, SFCV. I really should have mentioned that this was also the third recent go-round for the Beethoven: Yefim Bronfman with Salonen season before last (I think) on the program with the Kongsberg Variations and Bruce Liu, subbing for Hillary Hahn on Rafael Payare's program last year. Liu played it like late Mozart, a defensible approach; Bronfman with great depth and profundity, looking forward.DB at Kalimac's corner

Russia has fought a long war against Ukraine’s composers. Now Kyiv-born conductor Dalia Stasevska and US violinist Joshua Bell are resurrecting a war-scarred concerto – with an orchestra whose horn-player is missing in actionIn the National Philharmonic Hall in Warsaw, violinist Joshua Bell and conductor Dalia Stasevska are on an intensely focused mission to get the opening bars of a concerto just right. The work begins with a series of exposed chords from the woodwind, from which rises a declamatory flourish on the violin that fades into a lyrical phrase so intimate and hushed that it steals the breath. The musicians are recording the piece, so the passage is repeated over and over, then critiqued, with the finest of adjustments made.You almost wouldn’t believe that the young Ukrainian orchestra, who are bringing such a disciplined passion to their work, had spent nine hours queuing to cross the Polish border the previous […]
