Bayreuth’s new production of Lohengrin has taken the Green Hill by storm
Wagner Lohengrin: Piotr Beczała, Michael Gniffke, Anja Harteros, Tomasz Konieczny, Eric Laporte, Waltraud Meier, Timo Riihonen, Egils Salinas, Kay Stiefermann, Georg Zeppenfeld, dir: Yuval Sharon, cond: Christian Thielemann; Bayreuth Festival, Germany Reviewed by Tony Cooper on 14 August 2018 Star rating: 5.0 (★★★★★) An electrically-charged production that sparked the imagination and ignited the audience to a thunderous and most deserving curtain-callIn this brand-new production of Wagner’s Lohengrin directed by Yuval Sharon - born in Chicago in 1979 to Israeli parents and the Bayreuth Festival’s first American director - he delivered an electrically-charged and imaginative production that - like Hans Neuenfels’ rat-infested one - challenged the traditional boundaries of opera direction which, hopefully, is now finding favour with Bayreuth’s traditionally-minded audience.

Richard Dubugnon: Arcanes Symphoniques CD review – joy in the orchestra's swooning sonic possibilities
Gubisch/Dolié/ONF/Petitgirard/Waldman/Gabel (Naxos)In some ways the orchestral music of Swiss composer Richard Dubugnon, who is 50 next year, wouldn’t seem out of place in the Vienna of a century ago: joy in the orchestra’s swooning sonic possibilities is everywhere evident in the three works recorded here. First there’s the glitter and grand gestures of five of the Arcanes Symphoniques, the deck of tarot-inspired pieces that occupied Dubugnon on and off throughout his 30s. But the real novelties are the premiere recordings, taken live in concert, of two heady settings of even headier texts by novelist Stéphane Héaume. Triptyque (1999) pits a baritone, the resonant Thomas Dolié, against lean but vivid textures, astringent harpsichord and eerie celesta cutting through wind and brass. Le Songe Salinas (2003), a nocturnal “opera for one singer” using full orchestra alongside North African instruments, is persuasively delivered by mezzo Nora Gubisch and the Orchestre National de France, conducted […]
