Recent Releases No. 72 (CD Reviews)
[…] and also features the Minnesota Orchestra, this time under the baton of conductor Stanislaw Skrowaczewski (1923-2017). It is an engineering marvel, not quite as dramatic in performance, although a bit more flowing and lyrical overall. It certainly is startling to discover two such highly recommendable recordings of the same piece with the same orchestra on the same relatively small label. In any event, the Honeck release is something special, well worth an audition by faithful Brucknerians. Giorgi Mikadze Trio: Face to Face: Georgian Songbook, Vol. 1.

Essentially, the festival is a repertory company and the different productions share resources such as the dancers, and whilst the leads in L'Aube rouge are only in that opera, the rest of the singers are in other operas too, including two of the bigger roles. And, inevitably, whichever production is rehearsing on stage takes precedence. To add to their headaches, the third biggest role Kouragine was being played by Giorgi Manoshvili, who sang Calibano in Halevy's La Tempesta in 2022 [see my review], and Manoshvili was stuck in his native Georgia having visa problems complicated by the fact that Ireland does not have an embassy in Georgia. As I chatted to Ella on Tuesday, Manoshvili had arrived at the weekend and Ella had managed to rehearse him in nearly all his scenes. His presence in the opera was important as the opera has tenors […]

A factory of artists which started in the chaos of 2020 and worked, it became very fruitful. The intake is biannual, the most recent cohort has just been announced (Deirdre Arratoon, Michael Bell, Seán Boylan, Eoin Foran, Ami Hewitt, Emily Hogarty, Corina Ignat, William Kyle, Peter Lidbetter, Sarah Luttrell, Giorgi Manoshvili, Hannah O'Brien, Megan O'Neill, Leah Redmond, Richard Shaffrey, and Nikolai Zemlianskikh). The 2020 group gave Rosetta lots of satisfaction, many are going on to successful careers and one won a prize at the Belvedere Competition in Vienna, and they have become her friends.National Opera House in Wexford (Photo Ger Lawlor)She wants to make it about more than singers, to enlarge the factory to other kinds of artistic jobs. Wexford has a duty to do […]
